*Since this book is about a person who changes into different bodies, both boy and girl, I will use the pronoun 'ze' because the gender is unknown

"Love The Way You Lie" Eminem ft. Rhianna

"Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright because I love the way you lie"

A's average life is waking up in a different body every day. One of those days he woke up in Justin's body. That day he meets Justin's girlfriend, Rhiannon. Rhiannon acts small around Justin because Justin doesn't treat her right. He doesn't pay attention to her or at times he can say some things that aren't kind. Either way, Rhiannon thinks she loves him.

"Your Love Is A Lie" by Simple Plan

"You blow a kiss
But it just don't feel the same
Cause I can feel that you're gone"

A changes into a different person's body for a day every day. What ze's been doing to survive is not interfere with the person's life, such as changing relationships or usual activities. Ze can't help zimself when ze sees Rhiannon. Ze instantly falls in love with her because of the way she is. Ze feels bad for her because ze sees how great of a girl she is, but it isn't shown because of how Justin minimizes her. Due to this, A asks Rhiannon on a date to the beach. They drive there and they have a really great time and she's happier than ever. The next day, since A is no longer Justin, Rhiannon is the usual again because Justin is back. In the song says, "But I just don't feel the same Cause I can feel that you're gone" which is the way Rhiannon feels because A is literally gone.

 "Would You Still Be There" by Of Mice & Men

A still keeps in touch with Rhiannon through the different people ze is. At first A doesn't tell her about what ze is but eventually ze does. She feels like she's being played with and Justin set it up but it's no joke. A proves this by meeting up with her each day to be a different person. After she believes him, they begin to have a romantic relationship. How can it be possible to be in love with someone like A though? Ze'll wake up in a new body, she thinks she fell asleep with zim lying next to her but ze's no longer there when she wakes up. It's sad wondering if they'll still be there for each other no matter what.

"Everyday" by the High School Music Cast

"Everyday of our lives
wanna find you there
wanna hold on tight"

I would add this song because A find a way to be with Rhiannon everyday even though he changes bodies.

"Goodbye" by Avril Lavigne

If I explained why I would add this song, it would spoil the book but there's another reason I would add this song. Each day ze changes. Zis main goal is to not get attached to anyone, knowing that ze's going to leave them eventually. Maybe every once in a while he finds a special connection to a parent or the person he is in. Ze has to say goodbye to everyone.

  1. I enjoyed how you included lyrics from a variety of songs that we usually hear on the radio or on t.v. I also liked how you organized your blog so you could explain how the song relates to the book. After reading your blog it made me want to read the this book because of I feel like a person has to enjoy every day of their life. Great Blog Post.
