The authors spends a lot of time claiming to represent diverse perspectives in terms of sexuality and styles of non-monogamy (and patting herself on the back for it), but the book is very heteronormative and amatonormative.

The book really only resents the perspective of heterosexual, previously monogamous couples who have “opened up”. The author goes as far as to say that if you're having relationship issues with your partner (read primary and previously monogamous), the only way to solve them is to drop all your other partners at least temporarily.

This book is great if you're “opening” a monogamous relationship, otherwise it holds little value.
