Back Cover

There's more than one way to love more than one person. With 50,000 copies sold, More Than Two has shined a light on a generation's growing appetite for safe, responsible alternatives to monogamy. Franklin Veaux and Eve Rickert color their research with personal commentary wrought from lived experience, fusing instructional explanations with hard-won wisdom. Their successes and failures, heartbreakingly recollected, compose a roadmap equally invaluable to novice and veteran alike. Polyamory has its personal and interpersonal struggles. How does trust and transparency in relationships work where one or more are actively seeking sex or romantic companionship from outside the current relationships? How do we voice feelings of insecurity and jealousy without unintentionally obstructing our partner's other relationships? More Than Two is a manual for addressing the obstacles, philosophical and mundane, that come up in the course of imagining a life that gives you the love and companionship you need.

Author Biography

Eve Rickert began living polyamorously in 2008. The mistakes and hard lessons she's learned along the way have informed her writing, with which she hopes to educate others on how to engage in polyamory with integrity, compassion, and courage.

Franklin Veaux has been writing about polyamory since 1996 and has been nonmonogamous his whole life—learning the hard way how not to do things. He has multiple partners and writes about everything from relationship ethics to transhumanism to computer security.

Review

"This book is going to be an Event. It will immediately rank right at the top of the 36 nonfiction books about polyamory published in the last 30 years, and with its depth, insight and intelligence. I think it could break out into wider mainstream attention." * Polyamory in the News *
"Dossie and I have been described as 'big sisters' (if your big sister is a slutty kinky aging hippie); Franklin and Eve are more like 'wise neighbors' – think of the guy on the other side of the fence on Home Improvement, calm and wise and funny. Dossie and I write primarily about the sexual aspects of poly; Franklin and Eve are more interested in the day-to-day living part. Dossie and I like to indulge ourselves, just a little, in high-flown realms of abstraction and idealism; Franklin and Eve like to keep their feet on the ground." * rom the foreword by Janet Hardy, co-author of The Ethical Slut *
