A really good intro to the concept of adult attachment and how to change them. Fern makes a good case for approaching nonmonogamy from an attachment framework, but she doesn’t do the work of explaining how attachment theory is currently only constructed for middle class white (and Global North) nuclear families. More nuance is needed to account for intersectionality

Phenomenal book for everyone, not just those seeking or practicing polyamory!
I knew most of the concepts in the book before going in, but the way they were collated and presented was digestible, practical, and with utmost compassion.
MUST READ! <3
