Simpère is lauded as the founder of polyamory in France. This fact is why I picked this up and also why it is extremely distressing to realize just how bad this book is. It's contradictory, shallow in terms of content, pro-cheating, and overall a complete disappointment.

Though the FAQ structure left a lot of room to dig into specifics and different situations, Simpère left it empty with simplistic advice that might apply to 10% of the readers asking that type of question, with no caveats to explain what situations her advice applies to.

It tries to include everyone and in the process includes no one except for people like the author (cis/het white French women who don't want to break the status-quo).

Also, I hope the translation I read was horrible, because if not, the writing itself is clunky and grating.
