The content of this book is clearly an eye opener. I will like to read this book to gather more knowledge about polyamory in my weaponry as a counselor. This is a good review. I enjoyed reading it.

The topic of today's book of the day does not sit well with me. However, I wish to know how both partners were able to manage their marriage with other affairs they had outside the marriage. Congrats on #BOTD!

This is the first time I'm hearing about a polyamorous relationship, where a husband and wife agreed to have affairs with other people without letting go of each other. I like how the author explains a well-detailed about her relationship with her husband and for others to learn from it. Nice review.

I wonder why people should even get married in the first place if they will eventually willingly allow themselves to engage in an open relationship, but that is what it is. If not for any other thing, I admire Natalie's courage and sincerity in telling her sexual life story; I am not a fan of this kind of relationship, though.

The concept of polyamory seems interesting. I'd love to know the thinking perspective of people in these kinds of relationships.

I've always believed that an open relationship is completely different from a poly relationship in that the former involves numerous people being in a relationship together. Polyamory and this book, I mean, are not for me. Congrats on taking home the BOTD!

I guess we learn everyday. I'm just getting to know about the word, "polyamory" for the first time.
The book seems to be packed with information on open relationship. I hope Natalie got to make a great decision eventually.
Thanks for the great review and congrats to the author.

I can never subscribe to polyamory. It is not a value or something to be emulated. It is in fact absurd to me. I however might read this book to understand what the author's real problem was and provide analytically thought-out solutions for them. I don't think this should be encouraged in any society.

I am fascinated by the author's own experience with polyamory and how it affected her life.
I congratulate the author for Book of the Day!

Polyamory looks like an intriguing idea. I'd be interested in learning how people in these kinds of relationships think. Superb review. Congratulations on winning BOTD!

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. However, good job on the review!

When I saw the word 'polyamory' I didn't know what it meant so I searched for the meaning in the dictionary and I didn't get quite like the notion of it. I understand all people are unique and different. They had different beliefs and core values. Reading this review opened my eyes to a different reality people lived in. This could be a great book about relationships, maybe I could learn something from this.
