"Every Day:" A book without boundaries

No body, no identity, no family, and nothing to call its own.  The book "Every Day," by David Levithan is about a teenager named "A."  A is not classified by gender.  A is more of an energy mass.  A is different from the rest of the world, for A wakes up in a different body, living a different life every morning.  A has learned to never get too attached to a certain life or person because A will end up losing them anyway.

One fateful morning, A wakes up as a boy named Justin. During this day, A ends up falling in love with Justin's girlfriend, Rhiannon.  The next morning, A wakes up as a different person and chooses to find Rhiannon again.  Even if it means, A will have to ruin others' lives, this spiritual energy decides it will do anything to find her.  The closer A gets, the more A learns about itself.

This novel allows the reader to feel the same emotions as A feels.  As the story continues, the confusion and intensity that is prominent in the book seem to come to life.  "Every Day," is filled with suspense that makes it impossible to put down.
