David Levithan is renowned as an author who does not portray stereotypical LGBTQ characters in his novels. His 2012 novel, Every Day, presents one such gender nonconforming protagonist. The novel's plot revolves around a genderless and unembodied spirit who travels from one body to another every day. This study intends to investigate gender constructions articulated in Every Day. The textual analysis accomplished during this research endeavor suggests that Every Day problematizes the representation of gender and challenges traditional gender constructions through its characters.
