"我是A,每天早上在不同的身體醒來,然後在任何人發現之前便離開。我可以擁有100種生活,卻沒有人會知道我的存在,沒有人會記得我… 每天早上醒來,A都會這樣問自己:我今天是誰?因為他每天會住進不同人的身體,過那個人的生活。他當過男孩、女孩、正妹、怪咖,甚至癮君子,他可以體會他們生理上的痛苦,或是內心的寂寞。然而只有一天,他在這些人的身體裡只會待上一天,他無法改變什麼,也不打算涉入這些人生,他不允許自己愛上任何人,因為他知道沒有人會愛上他,真正的他。直到那一天,他遇見黎安娜。生平第一次,他想讓人知道自己的存在,於是他打破規則,每天用不同的面孔接近她,每天用不同的聲音告訴她:是我,我在這裡。他可以找到辦法停止這一切,不再變換游離,永遠留在她身邊嗎?"--P. [4] of cover.

"After a while, you have to be at peace with the fact that you simply are".

Wow. This was ... memorable. it evoked [a:Matt Haig|76360|Matt Haig|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1296764418p2/76360.jpg] in it's sharp poignancy and vivid, unflinching Humanity and really struck a chord with me.

Of course, there's an omnipresent theme of goodness underlying the whole work. The relationship between Amelia and Zara, Alexander's kindness, Vic's comfort "living in his own truth" and even seeing the good in Nathan, despite all the provocations he's had. All of these things serve to show the reader that if you are the sort of person happy as yourself, comfortable in who and what and how you are, you'll express that in the way you are too.

A's a powerful, tragic, yet erect figure of morality, and this is undeniably a classic to resonate and make teens think long after they've finished the actual story.
