Since polyamory doesn't appeal to me, I'm not interested in reading this book.

This review provides insightful commentary on Natalie Loveleen's book "My Journey To Polyamory And Back," which explores the author personal experiences in an open relationship with other men. The review notes the book well-paced narrative and well-edited content, along with its use of specific polyamory terms and rules. It recommends the book to readers interested in learning more about polyamory and those seeking to explore their own relationships beyond the traditional "American dream," but cautions that the book may be a sensitive topic for those who prioritize monogamy in their relationships.

My Journey To Polyamory And Back" by Natalie Loveleen is a book that sounds strange to me. This is my first time of coming across this concept. However, it doesn't appeal to me.

I've always wanted to know more about this polyamory thing because I hear it a lot around some Hollywood celebrities. Cheating (or maybe not considered to be cheating since your partner knows about it) without them feeling bad. Wahala! Congratulations on botd.

I have always known of the concept of a polyamorous relationship but I didn't know what it was called as I just learnt it from this lovely book. I believe that someone in a polyamorous relationship will definitely get hurt because people get attached hence the involvement of emotions.

Thank you for this review. Polyamorous relationship as a way out of a failing sexual relationship with one's spouse can be counter-productive.

This is my first time coming across polyamory - a term used to describe mutual cheating. What is the need for marriage as an institution since polyamory exists as an option?

I wonder if a polyamorous relationship is actually possible without making involved anyone jealous.

Thank you for the great review.

"My Journey To Polyamory And Back" by Natalie Loveleen is a book with a unique story. It tells how couples can agree to have an affair outside of their marriage. Interesting read.

An interesting and informative review. I enjoyed sampling this book, and I agree that it is a very well-written and very well-edited book. The life story of Natalie and her friends and their relationships is well told. Just this book is off my reading preferences alley but fans of romance will be sure to enjoy it :)

It's my first time hearing the term "polyamory." It still doesn't get into my head how it's possible to be legally and peacefully in more than one romantic relationship. I can only read this book out of curiosity and for entertainment; I can't take any advice from it.

Sometimes we say that it is just curiosity that makes us read books with similar content, but I think the more a person reads about something the more he is interested to practice it. Thank you for the review. It explained what the book is about so well, that I know for sure that it is not the one I want to read.

I don't accept this idea of an open relationship, because it is just a excuse for cheating and this is not Love. I will anyways like to read this book to understand the reasons to venture into such activities. Congrats on being the Book of day.

It sounds like this book is similar to The Swingers in the 60s but without the car keys. I don't get it. If you're not happy and satisfied with your partner, why keep together? Not a book for me but great review!

as a person, I find this type of relationships very hard. However, I'm really interested to read about the writer's experience and what it did to her marriage.
