Nicholas H. ★★★★★

I've been looking for a balanced perspective on open relationships, and the author's personal experience as someone in an open marriage makes the advice feel grounded. The communication strategies she outlines are practical and gave me a lot to discuss with my partner.

Henry G. ★★★★★

Finally, a book on open relationships that’s both practical and compassionate—the fact that the author is in an open marriage herself gives her advice real credibility. The communication exercises alone are worth the price, helping you navigate jealousy without judgment.

Samuel ★★★★★

I was honestly nervous about reading this book, but the author's personal experience in an open marriage made the advice feel grounded and real. The communication exercises are already helping my partner and I talk about boundaries without getting defensive.
