The Game Changer: A Memoir of Disruptive Love by Franklin Veaux

4.0

I knew this book was going to scare me, as the monogamish partner of a polyamorous person who isn't very comfortable with the whole idea of loving multiple people, and it did. Though very different from More than Two, I think this is a very well-written book. I wish that we had been able to see more of how Celeste actually felt and what she actually thought, instead of just Franklin's interpretations of where she was coming from emotionally. As he states himself multiple times in the book, he doesn't understand monogamy, which was painfully apparent to me as he described fears his secondary partners had or conditions they were living under as unfair without seeming to realize how Celeste was also living under those conditions/fears simply by being with someone who had other loves as a mono-amorous person. That was difficult for me, and keeps the book from getting a fifth star from me.
