Every Day by David Levithan

Every Day by David Levithan is a story written in the perspective of the narrator A, a gender-less, body-less soul floating from body to body everyday. Having been this way since as long as s/he can remember, A is used to the unusual lifestyle and tries to end everyday without causing much chaos in the body s/he invades. This is until A meets Rhiannon, who s/he is instantly mesmerized and blown away by. Falling in love with Rhiannon within the few minutes they first meet through Rhiannon's boyfriend's body, A makes a commitment to see Rhiannon as much as s/he could and, possibly, start a relationship with her. However, they soon discover that this may as well be impossible, considering their opposing circumstances.

Many things in both Rhiannon's and A's lives oppose the two's emerging relationship. Rhiannon has an inner conflict throughout the whole novel pertaining to A's body change every morning. She desperately tries to see who A is inside no matter what body s/he's in at the moment, but fails almost always, with the exception of A being in the body of an attractive male. While A cannot understand this, as s/he's been this way since birth, the readers can relate to Rhiannon's dilemma. What 16 year old girl would fall in love with a different body everyday? Certainly not me!

Also, while A tries to at least contact Rhiannon via email, let alone see everyday, this goal is soon revealed to be unrealistic as A habits the bodies of teenagers with very distinct lives. One day, for instance, A wakes up as an underage immigrant maid and spends the whole day cleaning multiple houses and has no access to a computer. These extreme lives A habits are a reminder that Rhiannon and A's relationship can never be normal or healthy without either causing significant changes in the host body's life or going for days without seeing or contacting each other. This is the main conflict in their relationship.

On the other hand, a boy named Nathan whose body A had once invaded, after waking up in a car alongside a highway, finds out the truth about his body's invasion by A. This causes many problems in A's life as his story becomes public and spreads nationwide, deeming it the "devil's possession". After this, A gets increasingly more nervous as he fears people will find out about him. This emerging issue gets in the way of Rhiannon and A's already fragile relationship as Nathan keeps contacting A and demanding information.

While Rhiannon and A are inevitably made for each other in emotional terms, the obvious obstacles in both of their lives make it very hard to love each other unconditionally. Especially because A will never wake up next to Rhiannon, or have the same body every day.
