Welcome to Litsy!

I was surprised at how much I liked this. It was an easy read - very conversational and not quite a graphic novel, but lots of fun illustrations. I liked the author, which is pretty important in a memoir-type book. This is ostensibly about polyamory, but really, it's just kind of about love and searching for who you are and what works best for you and being a decent human to others while you are doing that. Continued in the comments.

This was incredibly interesting! Id call it less a memoir about polygamy and more a memoir about the exploration of Love and how one human loves. Although I enjoyed this I did at times find it repetitive. The illustrations were a nice touch but I wouldn‘t pick this up if you are looking for a graphic novel type of memoir. The illustrations are just an added touch!

Yesterday I went to the book launch for Many Love by Sophie Lucido Johnson. She made me cry. Sophie is beautiful, this book is beautiful. It will expand your heart, even if, like me, you fall pretty heavily on the monogamous side of the spectrum.

This is part memoir, part explanation of the many ways polyamory can exist. Johnson writes candidly about relationships, inserting sketches that add to the narrative. She‘s funny, talented, and thoughtful. I loved how the folks she didn‘t want to name were referred to as Rory (a nod to Gilmore Girls). Though polyamory is not for me, I respect that it can work, and I appreciate Johnson putting herself out there.

My current ARC is about polyamory which literally means “many love.” The author comes across as intelligent and funny, and I‘m enjoying her writing thus far.
