'Every Day' by David Livithan
This book is part of a series.

In this deeply imaginative novel, Levithan poses the question: who would we be if we were someone different Every Day? That’s the situation that our protagonist, A, has been facing for as long as they can remember. Every day, they wake up in a different body, with a different life: sometimes as a boy, sometimes as a girl, and always with access to the host body’s memory of facts — but not feelings.

It’s a situation that would drive anybody else crazy and miserable, but A has learned to live with it. They’ve developed a set of rules, and it works. Never get too attached. Avoid being noticed. Do not interfere. That is, until A meets Rhiannon, a girl who changes their life forever.

But while this premise might quickly become stilted or gimmicky in another author’s hands, Levithan manages to hold true to A’s essence no matter how many bodies they pass through. Every Day is a novel, above all else, about people — the impressions they make, the lives they live, and the deep drives of their hearts. It’s a book that will make you laugh and think and ache, as you follow A through the unique and yet universal process of falling in love.
