Every Day (322 Pages)

In this book, David Levithan has created a fantasy in which a sixteen year old high school boy (known only as A) wakes up in a different body. some days he's a boy; other days he's a girl. Some days he's in the body of a drug abuser; some days he's in the body of a person who is gay. But the one day that creates a problem for him is the day he's in the body of another junior boy who is "going with" a girl that A finds very attractive. That one day he falls in love with her. They spend most of the day at the beach, where he is much sweeter to her than her boyfriend could ever be. But he'll never be that boy again. Regardless of the body he's in, A keeps in touch via email with this girl. Eventually he tells her about his situation. They see each other again, but this time he's a girl. This is a very strange book. While reading it, the reader knows this could never happen, but in spite of that, the characters seem so real, that it's forgotten. Very interesting....
