Are there any good books depicting a more realistic take on the
body swap genre? Like what it would actually be like to inhabit
another body, and the consequences of having to live a life not
your own? Preferably not a YA book. It seems like most books in
this genre are written for comedy, young adults, or just erotica.

I'd also like to know some of these. YA seems like the only place
these subjects get brought up realistically, and it's always done
ignoring the important stuff. Sad thing is man, I think there are
few and far between of published work on this.
One recent book that is more of a possession novel, is called
"Anyone" by Charles Soule:
https://www.amazon.com/Anyone-Novel-Charles-Soule/dp/0062890638
I enjoyed the book but felt like I would have added so much more
detail (and no, not just sexual) about what it's like to be in
another person's body. Anyway, I'm with you here and really am
thirsty for some books that get into this.

The premise of Anyone sounds like a prequel to Altered Carbon,
which isn't a bad thing, just not what I'm looking for. I'm
thinking of something like Freaky Friday where the people have to
deal with the real world ramifications of living the life of
another person, and how the people around them would react to their
friends and family members behaving differently.

Twisted Tiffany was a good book.

any books written on the genre will undoubtedly fall into the porn
genre very quickly
seriously, the vast majority of people that write this stuff have
the straight guy unwillingly jumped/swap/switched into the body of
some hottie then he's performing threesomes in minutes
you want a realistic story, you are going to have fear, depression,
confusion, and a whole lot of emotion
legal ramifications of changes would be interesting and you would
probably need a scifi writer that is also a lawyer with some idea
of how that all worked or some hand waving
best of luck on your search

There was a book I read long ago that I found in a used bookstore
and never saw any where else, called "Happy Cage" - if I remember
right a husband steals the body of his wife when she kills him for
abusing her? It's a bit foggy. I remember it being pretty dark and
loving it... Not sure where could find it. Part of the premise was
that our bodies are all a "Happy Cage" that each of is is trapped
inside of, or something like that.

Haha guest #5, it's funny because the author of the book sci-fi
book "Anyone" was actually a lawyer previously.
Sorry "Anyone" isn't up your alley OP - yeah, it's definitely more
of an Altered Carbon/Blade Runner style than the sort of thing
you're thinking of.

Not a book but the manga Shinsekai Bitter Exchange is a super
realistic look at what would happen if a body swap happened in
childhood and wasn't able to be fixed.

Not so sure about books, but maybe try the short stories
Transformation by Mary Shelley and The Metempsychosis by Robert
Macnish - they were written in the early 1800s and in public
domain, so should be easily accessible with a quick google.

The Body Tourists by Jane Rogers might be another intersting modern
book. Has anyone read it?
https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/49648355-body-tourists
Essentially dead people can be brought back to life for a short
period in the bodies of the living. Has some tg - but not sure if
its ftm only as i havent yet read the book.

Everyone on here hates m2m apparently, but "When You Were Me" by
Robert Rodi is a good depiction of what the OP was asking for.
There is a lot of planning involved before the actual swap and the
social consequences are explored. I have a PDF/epub if anyone is
interested.

Has anyone read "Happy Cage" - is it worth pursuing a copy?
Another good recommendation might be Heinlein ' I will fear no
evil' if people haevnt read it.

I remember coming across a m2m bodyswap novel in an airport years
ago and I've always kicked myself for not buying it at the time
because in the chaos of my flight I forgot the title - so thank you
for adding "When You Were Me" to this list, because that's it! I'm
interested in that PDF if you're offering?

@Pappelmousse - I found it on walmart books. No one else seemed to
