A really interesting book that is broader than it is deep and has value for most folks, not just those curious about nonmonogamy. (Although I agree it gets pretty dorky at times and could've been a lot shorter.) Plenty of good writing on boundaries, owning your own emotions, dealing with insecurity or jealousy, building networks and community, and embracing a sense of abundance when it comes to love and intimacy in all relationships. Even in the 2017 edition, parts of this seem dated when it comes to discussions of gender and sexuality. But it is not for nothing that the authors have decades of combined experience building polyamorous lives and networks.
