Opening Up is sure to open up your mind.”—Esther Perel, author of Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence

“This is absolutely the best book on open relationships or polyamory I’ve read (and I’ve read quite a few; check the “polyamory” tag in my catalog)… This is the book that you should read if you are considering any form of nonmonogamy, and it is also the book you should give to anyone who needs help understanding your relationship choices.”—Sweet Bee, Library Thing

“To every person who has questioned monogamy, I’d love to give a copy of Tristan Taormino’s excellent new book Opening Up…She gives solid advice on how to handle the realities of open relationships…A book as informative and reassuring as this one cannot be allowed to sit on my shelf. I’m handing it around my circle of non-monogamous friends with strict instructions to read it, learn from it…and then pass it on.”—Jane’s Guide
