I say that first because, although this is a well-written story, the first two-thirds were too slow for me, a 36-year veteran of polyamorous living and a member of the PolyTampa discussion group. But if polyamory's a new concept to you, that's perfect! Not only is everything carefully spelled out, (not tediously at all, just carefully), but also, the authors don't shy away from complications, upsets, mistakes, and the critical need for self-honesty. Plus, the three people involved are really good characters, flaws and all. There are a lot of complications, just like in real life - families, neighbors, logistics, beyond the basic questions of who to tell, and when. And how.
I just finished "Turkey in the Snow," a rather subversive novella about "drama," and this book could be a lengthier companion to that theme, particularly when everything comes to a head in that last third of the story. Sometimes polyam people declare they "hate drama," but it isn't true. We hate pointless drama, but you can't reinvent your life without some deconstruction of your assumptions, and the assumptions of other people who love you. There's gonna be some drama, but if you remember you're all on the same side, it'll be okay.
Anyway, I highly recommend this one. There is no on-page sex, by the way. I would've liked to have seen some of that sweetness, but it's clear in other ways as their relationships progress.… (mais)
