Hubward, by Alicorn (2014, fantasy prose)
"You think she's - actually - naturally - she was just born with several souls -"
Blurb: In a society where humans can't safely sleep, everyone upon adulthood joins bodies with other people, becoming systems of two so that someone is mentally awake at all times and dumping their physical fatigue into mice and other animals. But Book, Holly, and Crystal were born multiple, and Book's gender dysphoria is getting the better of him. He finds a new cohabiter, and the two bodies go on an adventure that goes wrong.
Why is it worth your time?: It's got a fun premise of a multi society that is far from utopian.
