I saw the commercial for the upcoming movie based on this book, and I have enjoyed other books by this author; so I was predisposed to like it.
And wow, I really did like it!
The basic story is told by A, the main character. They wake up in a new body each day, aging along with A’s life; so everyone is about 16. Each day they could be male, female, popular, persecuted, happy, suicidal, or any other possibility. A falls in love with a girl she meets in one of these bodies, and it is so interesting to see how they work to build and maintain the relationship that is, necessarily, so very unstable. It’s a YA book, so read it if you enjoy that. It’s very LGBTQ-friendly, so read it if you like that. I’m into science fiction, and the issues involved in ever-changing bodies really interested me.
The movie comes out Feb. 23:

From Amazon:
“A has no friends. No parents. No family. No possessions. No home, even. Because every day, A wakes up in the body of a different person. A is able to access each person’s memory, enough to be able to get through the day without parents, friends, and teachers realizing this is not their child, not their friend, not their student. Because it isn’t. It’s A. It’s a lonely existence–until, one day, it isn’t. A meets a girl named Rhiannon. And A falls for her after a perfect day together. But when night falls, it’s over. Because A can never be the same person twice. But yet, A can’t stop thinking about Rhiannon. She becomes A’s reason for existing. So every day, in different bodies–of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and walks of life–A tries to get back to her and convince her of their love. But can their love transcend such an obstacle? Fans of David Levithan’s books, from Boy Meets Boy to Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist with Rachel Cohn, to Will Grayson, Will Grayson with John Green, will not want to miss this wholly unique love story.”
