I'm so grateful this book exists! As someone who has a platonic life partner (Long Distance Platonic Life Partner of Awesome or LDPLPoA to be precise) and who also lives with non-related adults and our kids, including a friend I've lived with for 10 years, I deeply resonated with many aspects of this book. I loved how many different types of platonic partnership and and how many aspects it explored. The loss chapter was hard but important. The whole thing was super interesting and affirming. Just really glad someone wrote it.
