Why is it always different every time I wake up

Everyday
By: David Levithan



Jumping from body to body, from thought to thought, boy to girl wandering the earth day to day.  Everyday is a book regarding something called A who wakes up in a different body everyday living the life of another. One day A wakes up in the body of Justin and interferes in his life by falling for his girlfriend and coming back to her everyday as a different person. A has a set of rules for himself as he travels through people on a daily basis so that he doesn't mess up their lives, as he knows he is only there for a day although he doesn't quite understand why he is living like this but he just accepts it and moves on. I would recommend you read the book, the story is one of a kind.

Fracture

Fracture written by Megan Miranda tells the story of a girl who's name is Delaney Maxwell, Valedictorian of her class with a life which appears to be all it isn't.  
Her best friend Decker lives next door. One day Delaney goes on a walk with Decker, but as they pass by through the frozen lake Delaney see's a boy standing in the middle of the lake, as she walks through leaving Decker behind she attempts to save the life of the guy but ends up falling through the thin layer of ice. The water was at freezing temperatures and remained under for 11 minutes, as described in the book, "Eleven minutes might as well be eternity underwater. It only takes three minutes without air for loss of consciousness. Permanent brain damage begins at four minutes. And them, when the oxygen runs out, cardiac arrest occurs. Death is possible at five minutes. Probably seven. Definite at ten. Decker pulled me out at eleven." The fact which Delaney had fallen and remained in below zero temperatures which large brain damage yet managed to make it through a week of being in a coma and coming back with a much larger ability to feel the presence of those who were bound to leave their lives. As Delaney comes back home she begins to feel her world breaking apart, realising things which she had never known about her family, “I wasn't sure who I was most scared of at the moment. The stranger I was learning about too quickly, or the woman I'd known my entire life that was quickly becoming a stranger.” coming to realise life is a series of unexpected events causes a large commotion between all of which you had known and are now finding out. Thereof, as time went by Decker chooses to express his feelings towards the girl who had lived next door to him for most of their life causing confliction between both teenagers whose lives were nothing but a mess from all which Delaney was going through by sensing the death of those who she did not know of, “We were in a pit. Fitting. This was, after all, my hell. This pit around the lake. The lake that had taken so much. My friendship with Decker. My humanity. Quite nearly my life. And I was so angry with it. I wasn't scared anymore. I was furious.” the lives of teenagers become harder as one learns because it's inexperienced. The book takes you through a series of ups and downs, in the lives of a teenager willing to find what their actual meaning of life is as to who in their life is meant to be in it.
