The Quantum Leapish premise attracted me to this book and it was very much like I expected. What made the book work is that he was always in the body of someone the same age. It would have been much more difficult for him to pursue a relationship with Rhiannon had he been in the body of someone with a career and a family. What he was able to do was address a wide variety of societal issues: teen suicide, gender dysphoria, obesity, sibling rivalry, etc. For the most part all are addressed going along with the current cultural grain, so no earthshattering surprises there. So, the question is this: can a boy have forever with a girl if the boy looks totally different every day? Can love last through all the transformations and baggage that comes with each identity? The solution may surprise you.
