This book is written brilliantly, with a clear Table of Contents so you can read specific sections that relate to your current situation, while also having a narrative flow that allows reading it from start to finish to be equally enjoyable. This is one I will refer back to and recommend to people. It is a good reference for people interested in the lifestyle as well as those who are just curious about it.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC for my honest review.
This was my first non fiction type book surrounding polyamorous relationships and polyamory, and this book was truly amazing.
First, as a person who has read fictional novels related to polyamory but not nonfiction, this book was EASY to read and understand. I love the way the author broke the chapters up and organized the chapters in general, the order made sense and served as a natural progression through what a potential polyamorous relationship could look like.
Also, there was not an ounce of judgment throughout this book and I feel that is important especially surrounding this topic. I think it would be easy for an individual who identifies as polyamorous to judge those who view it harshly, but this author understands that polyamory is not for everyone and that more individuals with a negative view are not fully aware of polyamory (they just know it as "taboo").
This book came to me at a pivotal moment in my own life and my own relationship as polyamory is something I have been thinking about. However, anyone could read this book and be able to easily learn more about polyamory and the nuances within it.
Full 5 star read and I will be pre-ordering/ordering my own copy when it comes out.
