About this ebook

“A fast-paced debut… A candid, modern take on polyamory for fans of memoirs and graphic novels, and anyone interested in stories of dating, love, and romance.” —Library Journal

After trying for years to emulate her boomer parents’ forty-year and still-going-strong marriage, Sophie realized that maybe the love she was looking for was down a road less traveled. In this bold, graphic memoir, she explores her sexuality, her values, and the versions of love our society accepts and practices. Along the way, she shares what it’s like to play on Tinder side-by-side with your boyfriend, encounter—and surmount—many types of jealousy, learn the power of female friendship, and other amazing things that happened when she stopped looking for “the one.”

In a lot of ways, Many Love is Sophie’s love letter to everyone she has ever cared for. Witty, insightful, and complete with illustrations, this debut provides a memorable glimpse into an unconventional life.

    Initially, I thought this was going to be a graphic novel -- it's not, but it is lavishly illustrated by Johnson with charming and funny portraits and commentary.

    I love the thoughtfulness that went into this book -- lots of honest contemplation, transparent sharing, non-judgmental lifestyle conversations, and interesting explorations. All of which are the point of the book. Polyamory is tricky, as it both an individual and a collective journey. The book illustrates that well, and has some very interesting things to say about how to open your mind to alternative modes of life.
