I commend the writer for their bravery to tell her story. However, I didn't resonate with the story because practice isn't what I can do. Congrats on the book of the day. It was well-detailed.

My journey to polyamory and back is an unusual story of taboo relationships. Natalie wants to spice up her relationship with her husband, so she has embarked on a journey of open marriage. It's not for those with conservative values and beliefs. Thanks for your review.

It sounds so unbelievable reading about this type of relationship. I never know such a relationship exist, to have an open relationship with another while still maintaining the marriage? I doubt if the couple will be happy together. Because at some point their hearts may be shifted to this open relationship, neglecting their married partner.

Given my understanding of polyamorous relationships, I wouldn't recommend reading this book. Despite the fact that the review is excellent and thoroughly explains the plot and central topic, I don't feel like reading it. Nonetheless, good work on the book!

It's true that not everyone can understand the concept of polyamory, and I admire the author's bravery in sharing her own personal experience. Considering that it goes against everything so many of us have believed since infancy, I can appreciate feeling emotionally troubled.

I have a lot of friends who are into polyamory, and I cannot judge them based on my standards for relationships because I'm queer (which is another story). Connecting with one person is already exhausting for me. Many readers may find their situation unusual, but if everyone involved is happy, we can't do anything about it. There are other cultures that practice having multiple partners, and they should be respected. Congratulations on the BOTD.

A memoir that looks at the topic of polyamory that has recently drawn much intrigue and concern. This book covers sensitive matters on marriage and relationships. I wouldn't recommend this novel if you dislike polyamorous relationships.

Truth is, the thought of polyamory always sounds odd to me. I would like to read this book to find out more on what pushed the author into it and why she opted out. Beautiful review.

I think it is a bold choice to open up a marriage and date other people because there is no coming back from that. I can't help but wonder whether Natalie found what she was looking for outside her marriage. Can't wait to read it. Congrats on BOTD.

For me polyamory is not good because God made marriage sacred.You cannot have many husbands and wives or concubines.

This book has greatly piqued my curiosity. Polyamory is a mystery to me so it will be interesting to read about the experiences of someone who has been in a polyamorous relationship. Congratulations on BOTD.

The idea of Polyamory (Open relationship) sounds strange to me. Why not fix your marriage or quietly walk out? Anyways, I would like to read about how Natalie and Oliver came about this strange idea. Congrats on #BOTD!
