A Disappointing Farce

Revisado: 04-03-24

This one wasn't for me; I like an immersive story with the character building and exposition that come with it. Some character building definitely took place, including references to cPTSD and attachment theory, I just found the interruptions to reference/bypass writing tools to be a distraction and the plot to be a bit thin and contrived for the purpose of inserting literary eye rolls at writing devices.

Great premise, needs more development

Revisado: 12-12-23

I really liked the concept, but a lot more was needed in story and character development. It was very unsatisfying when the book abruptly ended.

Great character and world development

Revisado: 08-06-23

Enjoyable listen except for the jarring change in narrator at the end, that was unexpected and unwanted. The steamy scenes were a bit slow and drawn out, but there were only a couple and fast forwarding a few times took care of them.

If you enjoy spiritual bypass, you will love it

Revisado: 07-15-23

Strip the negativity, judgement and focus on the "wrong way" to approach sex and this book becomes a 2-hr or less read.
If someone is truly offering a better way to enjoy and connect through sex all they have to do is describe it and it would be tried and accepted, no need to trounce another way, certainly no need to spend over half the book on it.
if you want the core positive message without having to wade through the negativity, it's slow down and enjoy simple touch and being together, you're not responsible for making anything happen and it's not the goal.

Round Earth Equals Polyamory being Natural

Revisado: 10-18-22

I came back to this book multiple times, trying to get through the first few hours, but the repeated non-sequitorial evidence given about how wrong we have been about things that are completely unrelated to interpersonal relationships equating to monogamy not being our natural relational pattern was too much. There is alsi an ugly snide tone to humanities unrelated misunderstandings of the world that is very hard to listen to and none of it provides any evidence for polyamory being a relationship model that results in a happier, healthy individual or relationships and I actually think Polyamory is great for anyone that it works for.

Leans heavily towards exposition

Revisado: 07-24-22

A lot of time is spent describing details, but without providing a larger framework for the exposition. Nothing about the character development leads me to invest and I am unable to discern a primary story line.

Wow, thank you.

I loved the focused character development and the subtle reveal. Reviews have a minimum word count requirement.

Flat, Lifeless Monotone

I died a little inside at each word. Starting your day like this will bring you closer to your last.

Thank you.

This was time well spent. I enjoyed the story and the telling as a whole and particularly appreciated the way Neil was able to deposit the murder of the family into the periphery of my awareness. It was a horrific act that needed to be included and Neil conveys it without overpowering the feel of the story, leaving it in a place where I could look at it as directly as I would like.
