I received a copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

tw for miscarriage in the book

This was the first nonfiction book I read on polyamory and I felt like it touched on all the important issues that I could think of. It was a mix of personal anecdotes and statistics/legality, it addressed racism and privilege in polya communities as well as the overlap with kinky communities, and featured plenty of queer people. Bonus points for referencing Professor Marston and the Wonder Women, which was a beautiful movie and I cried. It also features many, many types of polyamorous relationships, talks about jealousy, stresses the importance of consent, and says that polyamory is not for everyone and not somehow more "enlightened" than monogamy.

Overall I think this could be a good introduction for someone who is interested in polyamory, although it focuses mostly on Canada, so that sometimes got a little boring when only Canadian poly groups are mentioned at length.
