Incredibly Objective

I absolutely loved how the author was able to clarify when she was expressing an opinion, vs shining an objective light on how the listener can use questions and tools to objectively figure out their own opinions, thoughts, feelings, and comfort within the bulky topic of Polyamory.

The narrator also did a fantastic job of pacing, pronunciation, and tone.

Best poly book I’ve read

As someone who is polyamorous, I found this to be the most helpful and validating book I’ve read

Not Only For Therapists

I'm not a therapist. I'm not even a therapy client. I'm just a polyamorist. I've been practicing polyamory for many years and have read most of the books available on the subject. This one is probably the best, most useful, and most comprehensive work on the subject thus far. I especially recommend it to anyone interested in learning how to manage jealousy, even if you're not polyamorous or non-monogamous. The chapter about jealousy was more helpful than any other writing on the topic I've seen.

informative, valuable information

the beginning had repetitive explaining of what the book was about and for could have been put more simple.

Super informative

I really enjoyed it from beginning to end. Nothing I would change about it. Highly encouraged you to “read” it as well.
