Every Day by David Levithan

This novel takes teen romance problems to a new level.  In this story "A" lives life in a new body every day.  "A" has made peace with the fact that every day is a new life that has to be figured out.  "A" sets up some rules to live by to manage this, but then "A" meets Rhiannon and falls in love.  As "A" travels from life to life, body to body the want to meet with Rhiannon is always there. Can they make it work?  Is it fair to the bodies that "A" inhabits if they try? Is it fair to Rhiannon?  A great story about what makes you...you.

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

Maggie Stiefvater is one of my favorite authors.  She wrote Shiver, Linger and Forever, the werewolf series as well as The Scorpio Races.  This book has A LOT crammed into it:

1. a search for a mystical king
2. unknown father figures
3. ley lines
4. psychics
5. ghosts
6. domestic violence
                                7. families not getting along
                                8. mysterious deaths AND much more!  
I thought this was a "stand alone" book and would have a nice tidy ending like The Scorpio Races, but I was wrong.  This looks like it is going to be a series, so I was disappointed at the ending because I have so many more questions!!  Can't wait to get the next one.
