### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great over-view of relationship styles
*by S***L on September 30, 2015*

A very robust overview of Open / Poly relationship concepts. Certainly eye-opening for people who haven't considered the options. Mark & Patricia don't endorse any way of relating over the other; they want to be sure everyone has thought about their choices, and are in the relationship model that works to best satisfy the inner self.They write: "You are the designer, along with your partner or partners, and it's up to you to create a relationship that works and to redesign it when and if appropriate. We invite you to move beyond the binary thinking that deems monogamy and various forms of consensual nonmonogamy to be irreconcilable opposites."It includes some good advice for keeping your relationship strong, which follows on their amazing Partners In Passion: A Guide to Great Sex, Emotional Intimacy and Long-term Love which I'd suggest is must-have reading for everyone in (or thinking of being in) a relationship. Ie: everyone!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good "beginner" book
*by M***E on June 6, 2022*

I enjoyed this book, though it didn't meet my expectations. The back matter implied that it would be insightful for all sorts of relationships, but ended up being 75% about polygamy and swinging. Nothing wrong with those topics! I just wasn't looking for that based on the description.Good insights, though, even if it does get a bit woo in places.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love that this book is really inclusive and helpful to ...
*by S***N on November 20, 2015*

I love that this book is really inclusive and helpful to the entire spectrum of relationship models, and offers experience-based wisdom to figuring out how to create the loving life that's right for you. It's accessible and practical, with action-oriented ideas. And the basis of the book is that we can collaborate creatively with our partner(s) while fully embracing ourselves. Refreshing, quick read that addresses elements of polyamory and relationships rarely discussed all in one book.
