Every day, A wakes up in somebody else's body. A is still A, just borrowing somebody else's life for a day. A tries to leave the life just as he left it, but still feels a sadness knowing that he'll never have a family he can go back to each night. He can never make friends and keep them. One day, A wakes up in the body of a not-so-nice teenage boy named Justin. A goes to school as Justin and meets Justin's girlfriend Rhiannon. There is something about her. Maybe it's how insecure she seems to feel around him. It's clear Justin treats her poorly, but A decides to make her feel happy, show her a good time...just for one day. He takes her to the beach. And that is when A falls in love. A knows he can never love her...at least not as A. A sleeps and wakes up the next morning as somebody else. But A keeps thinking about this Rhiannon. A keeps going to see her as different people. And finally, they meet at a party and dance together, her thinking she's dancing with a gay cousin of the host. They exchange emails (A has a personal email) and Rhiannon finds out that he was not, in fact, a cousin of the host. The only way to explain, A decides, is to meet up at a coffee shop A will tell her the one thing nobody knows about A.
I really liked this book, and I stayed up many late nights, unable to put it down!
I recommend this book to teenagers. I'd say around thirteen or fourteen and up. There are some mature themes in this book, such as drugs, suicide, and sex. I suggest reading Divergent before this book, if you have not read books open to those topics yet, because Divergent introduces the mature themes. If you've read books like this before, with topics like that, then I think eleven would be fine, but any younger than eleven might be a little too young.
Definitely check with what your parents are comfortable with you reading before you read this.
All in all, it's a great book, with older subjects.
