I've gone from knowing nothing of polyamoury to finally understanding what the nagging feeling that "something isn't right" is. I haven't been able to put this book down! My partner and I have finally opened discussions around the topic, where we would have felt threatened. This book shares many, many different experiences, and advice... along with very candidly sharing the emotions and complexities surrounding polyamoury. If you'd like a series of intellectual essays, written by many women with many experiences, I'd highly reccomend this book.

WOW...finally I know there is a name for my way of looking at relationships. It will be a gift for any womyn that I am dating. Even friends. Even if this lifestyle is not for you its a must read. This book is eaisly read. There were parts where there was tears cause it touched me so deeply. This book moved me, made me see Im not alone. Its way above five stars!
