This is quite interesting. A polymarous relationship is rarely explored in literature, which is why this narrative sounds intriguing. Congrats on botd!

Polyamory is one of those topics I have heard lots about but have never experienced before. I always wanted to know how people become polyamorists while being in a committed relationship. I guess this book will provide me with all my burning questions.

Natalie Loveleen seems to have shared her journey into polyamory and back in this book as a therapeutic experience. You have written the review so well pointing out that the common thing to both polyamory and polygamy is not taking monogamy seriously. I will checkout this book sometime. Congratulations on the BOTD!

I think this author's book might appeal to people who don't see anything wrong with Polyamorous relationships. Thanks for the review.

Polyamory is a very touchy topic but I'd like to see how this concept works. Its brave of the author to share such sensitive information. Thanks for the review

With every book I read comes great information. I never believed polyamory was a thing people actually do in real life. I would love to read this bok to know more about Natalia and her polyamory relationship. Congrats on BOTD.

I'm not a fan of books with this sort of storyline, and as such, I'll be skipping this one. Congratulations on being the Book of The Day.

This book does not sound like a good match for me, but I like that the author takes her experiences and uses them to help others learn the pros and cons of this sort of relationship.

This book can be very enlightening and intriguing to read; however, this is not really my cup of tea. Thanks for the awesome review!

I don't need to know anything about polyamory. I don't think any good will come out of cheating on your husband or wife. Why do such people even marry? Why not have all your freedom as a single unattached human being instead of pretending marriage can suit you? Thanks for the review.

"My Journey to Polyamory and Back" by Natalie Loveleen is based on Natalie's real-life experiences in her open relationships with other men. Definitely a different kind of book than the usual BOTD. This book is about open relationships that both spouses agree to without hurting one's spouse. So basically, it is ethical cheating on one's spouse. Natalie is not satisfied with her relationship with her husband Oliver so they agreed to a polyamory or open relationship. Oliver started dating other women and Natalie was seeing three other men. Will these open relationships continue or will they decide they want a normal husband and wife relationship? One will need to read the book to find out what happens. The title of the book may imply that they do try to come back from this open marriage. Being a happily married man for the past 20 years I could never envision a polyamory relationship. I believe in the adage, happy wife, happy life. Very good review.

This is my first time hearing about a polyamory relationship. I don't have interest in such a topic but,I would love to know how it ended for Natalie. Thanks for the review.
