Author Website: The Disenchanted Kingdom

Why this must be read: Clark and Lex manage to end up inside each other's bodies and gain extremely well-thought-out and credible insights into the complexities of one another's lives in the process. It's a fascinating example of an author really making things hard on herself (the pronoun and identity tangle of two men wearing each other's skins who have to interact with way too many people) and yet never confusing the reader. Plus, it's very funny (I snort like a donkey every time I read it), and there's sex! Rivka is probably better known for her harder sci-fi stories--and you should definitely read those, as well--but this is my favorite of her pieces.

Read, enjoy, and then tell her how much you loved it.
