Every Day by David Levithan

A wakes up every day in a different body. Guest for a day, A tries to do no harm, walk through that person's life changing as little as possible. Until A meets Rhiannon. Waking up as Justin seems like any other day. Justin is kind of a slob, kind of a slacker, and not all that extraordinary. A thinks it will be just like any other day, making it to class, figuring where Justin sits at lunch, if he has an after-school job. Everything changes when A meets Justin's girlfriend Rhiannon. She is beautiful and different, and A is drawn to her. They decide to skip school and spend a day on the beach, the best day A has ever had. The next day, waking up in a body two hours away, A can't stop thinking about Rhiannon. Wanting to talk to her, wanting to share one more day. A decides to do something unprecedented and visit Rhiannon in another body, and another, until revealing the secret of A's life is inevitable. Rhiannon and A share something amazing, something extraordinary. But what kind of a relationship is it when one person wakes up in a different place every day? They can never fall asleep next to each other, never take a trip together, never enjoy more than a day. Every Day by David Levithan has such an interesting concept behind it. What would life be like if you never stayed in the same place or saw the same people? How would your relationships change? Weirdly, I had a dream last night that I was A and I woke up in the body of John Green for a day...I totally read the rough draft of his next book...all I remember is that it was awesome!
