FINISHED:
Levithan, David. (2012). Every day. New York: Knopf.

[LOVED LOVED LOVED this one.  "A" is a being who wakes up in a different body every morning and doesn't identify as male or female.  One day, A wakes up as the boyfriend of Rhiannon and shares such an incredible day with her that he ends up falling in love.  From then on out, regardless of who A wakes up as s/he makes an effort to contact Rhiannon, eventually revealing to her the situation of his/her life.  A FASCINATING premise that, with only a hint of preachiness, brings up a multitude of issues.  AND, this is one that called up so many questions surrounding the premise (such as:  What do the teens whose bodies A takes over remember from that day when A is inside them??), but, amazingly, addressed all of the questions I had.]
