Part of me resists the idea of the open-ended ending. It leaves me a little bit of an ache when I don’t get to see everything resolved neatly. I get that life isn’t like that though so I appreciate it when it’s done well.

As someone who read this entire book in one sitting when it first came out, I was intrigued by this graphic novel adaptation. I'm not really sure the story itself translates well into a graphic novel format, as there's a lot of internal monologues that happen in the prose version of this story. Something about Levithan's prose is also a little lost in this adaptation.
There are some nice panels, but the art style wasn't particiularly my favorite. I wanted a little more detail in some of the people, I think. The colors were really nice, though! Especially in the scenes that were given a full page.
All in all, some mixed feelings about this adaptation. I'm not sure how they're picking YA novels to adapt, but they are definitely picking some interesting ones.

I read the original book years ago and this graphic novel adaptation is incredibly well done and I actually think I prefer it to what I remember of the original book (tho I haven’t read that in years so who knows)
It makes me want to go back and read the sequels to the original Every Day to see what develops for A
