This Heart Holds Many: My Life as the Nonbinary Millennial Child of a Polyamorous Family by Koe Creation

funny informative fast-paced

3.5

I found this book very enjoyable as a young adult just now exploring polyamory. Koe's vignettes of their childhood and discussions about the logistics of being raised in a polyam family were entertaining and informative. I do wish that there had been more of a sense of flow to the sub-chapters, the only parts that progress in chronological order are Koe's "young adult finding their own identity bit" which tbh I found the least interesting. In addition, Koe both begins and ends the book by saying that in order to forge their own identity they needed to learn to let go of some of the things they learned from their parents -- but never really goes over what those things are in any detail. It's possible that I just missed it, but i feel like if you think this point is important enough to both start and end the book with, you'd want to make it easy to identify.
