LONGLISTED FOR THE 2025 GILLER PRIZE A GLOBE AND MAIL BEST BOOK OF THE
YEAR NATIONAL BESTSELLER The eagerly awaited follow-up novel from the
Giller prize-winning author of Reproduction, You’ve Changed is a
daring and clever dissection of a crumbling marriage between two
people who are morphing in ways that confound each other. Middle-aged
and about to be dumped from his construction job, Beckett is not
feeling his best—especially since his wife, Princess, is already
pressuring him to improve himself. She’s a fitness instructor who
spends a lot of time and energy finetuning every inch of her body.
Still, they both think their marriage is basically fine, until a
couple of friends show up for a visit, their mutual affection and
sexual chemistry loudly on display. In one weekend, they upset the
tenuous balance between Beckett and Princess, throwing them into
parallel midlife crises. Princess thinks the problem is physical, and
attempts to revive Beckett's interest with relentless surgical
alterations and bodily enhancements that have the opposite effect on
her husband. Beckett tries to woo Princess back to him by relaunching
his contracting business, laying his manly accomplishments at her
feet. Then, while Princess is away pursuing even more drastic beauty
measures, Beckett meets Gluten, an energetic and erratic man devoted
to living in the moment, whom Beckett feels drawn to in ways that
surprise him. Beckett is changing, Princess is changing: what will
happen to their already stressed marriage? Sharp, inventive and
absurdly funny, You’ve Changed is a wild ride exploring identity,
insecurity, intimacy and desire, and who individuals become when they
unite, and how they change despite promising not to.
