About
The body riddle-What if the body you fought for no longer fits the life you built before it?
When Lex finally receives a date for their chest surgery, they're not sure if they want to go through with it. But it's been a year since they've had sex with their cis partner, Ada, who believes Lex's surgery will rekindle their kinky dynamic.
When surgery doesn't have the outcome either expects, Lex, in the spirit of their non-monogamous relationship, tries to support Ada's new romance with Noah, a cis man. But Lex's jealousy spirals-Is Ada replacing them? And does she prefer cis masculinity after all?
Then Lex meets Sadie, a magnetic nonbinary coworker who awakens a new attraction. Lex thought they were only attracted to women and has never dated another trans person. Unsure about their changing sexuality, Lex hides the budding romance from Ada. As secrets build, Lex must decide what kind of love-and life-they really want.
Sharp, intimate, and tender, The Body Riddle is about queer longing, identity, and the messy beauty of reconfiguring desire on your own terms.
The body riddle-What if the body you fought for no longer fits the life you built before it?
• RAW AND REAL: For fans of Torrey Peters and Casey Plett, The Body Riddle is a vibrant, liberated Own Voices novel about the many meanings of transitioning.
• TRANSMASCULINE REPRESENTATION: Author Sam K MacKinnon sought to write a novel that addressed the lack of transmasculine representation in Canadian literature, particularly stories involving bodies and sexuality. The Body Riddle is unflinching, seeking to explore the ups and downs of life from a uniquely trans perspective.
• THE EMOTIONAL AFTERMATH: Moving beyond a traditional "before/after" narrative, The Body Riddle explores the raw reality of transitioning, and the complicated truth in living in a profoundly changed body and mind.
