Synopsis

A modern topology of nonmonogamy’s many possibilities—and consequences.“Can you love more than one person?” A lot of conversations about nonmonogamy start this way. When we discuss “opening” relationships, contemplate whether we want to be exclusive with our partners, or introduce multiple partners to friends and family, we are asking the people in our lives, and ourselves, to contend with this question.The answer is obvious, and misleading. The love one feels in their heart and the love one expresses through daily acts of care and affection are both “love” in the true sense, but they have different requirements, present different options and produce different outcomes.More Than Two can’t promise outcomes, but it is a guide to the paths—from anchor or nesting partnerships to relationship anarchy—possible within nonmonogamy. This long-awaited second edition bridges emerging theories on attachment and relationship diversity with authors Eve Rickert and Andrea Zanin’s insight and experience. The arcs of nonmonogamous partnerships bend towards complexity, introspection and compromise—or at least they can, if we work at it.

Every time I would sit down to read a chapter of this book, my mind went wild, and I would start making connecti......more

Goodreads review by Louisa on May 08, 2020

As the unchartered map of open relationships takes another bound forward in its clarity with the new book More Than Two by Franklin Veaux & Eve Rickert, many worthy ideas and concepts are brought to the fore. Some like consent and communication are the cornerstones to polyamory as we know it; they've......more

Goodreads review by Carrie on December 29, 2016

I should probably know better than to read another intro to polyamory book, much of the book comprises of examples of "horrible things you should never ever do" that seemed fairly obvious to me. However, the treatment of ethics is very sound in this book and gave me some intellectual clarity on what......more

Goodreads review by Kitty on June 09, 2024

This second edition of More Than Two revisits a popular nonmonogamy guide and deeply enriches it with experience, compassion, and gentleness towards people who are exploring the world of nonmonogamous intimacy.
