    About this audiobook

    Having a friend or family member come out to you as polyamorous can be confusing and stressful. Chances are, you have a lot of questions: Is this just a phase? Won’t they settle down someday? What’s going to happen to their kids? Do I have to invite all their partners over for Thanksgiving dinner? Why can’t they just keep it in the bedroom? When Someone You Love Is Polyamorous offers answers to these and more questions, to help you better understand and support your polyamorous loved ones.

      Good overview of Polyamorous. Non bias just giving the facts. Pretty good resource to give to those that are curious.
    • 5/5
      I cried. It was eye opening! Would recommend to anyone! Help me understand more about my recently discovered self about who I am and hope it will help my partner understand more as well!

      This small, easy to understand book would be an excellent starting point for folks just learning about polyamory. It's a very basic guide, written from and for an outside perspective. The simplicity and outside perspective make it more accessible to folks new to the concept of polyamory. The book emphasizes the importance of communication and honest, both as part of polyamory, and for interacting with loved ones who've come out as poly.
