The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships, and Other Freedoms in Sex and Love by Dossie Easton, Janet W. Hardy
informative
medium-paced
3.5
I think this could be a very informative book for someone very new to the idea of polyamory and non-monogamy and is trying to open their mind to the concept and what it might look like. For me, even though I'm new to practicing it, I didn't find a lot of the information all that new or helpful. Still, I appreciate the authors writing this book which I know was a big deal since it came out and being open about their own experiences and finding others' experiences to share.
