For the importance of the issue in this book, I'm not sure I got quite enough closure. I get that their journey isn't tidy because life isn't tidy, but I just would have liked a little more reassurance that *these* problems, at least, were further behind them in the end. This book was like 95% angst, and I'm leaving it still feeling a little unsettled. But, it was interesting, and I'm glad I read it. ( ) Stock up on your favorite facial tissues before reading this one. I cried a lot. This is, in case you need a Content Warning, a story about infidelity, and forgiveness. This is Truman, and Hugh, and Will, and it is not an easy tale after all this time, weathering a lie and new truths. I am polyamorous, have been my entire romantic life (three-plus decades), and I belong to the discussion group PolyTampa (have since the late '90s) at which the topics of infidelity and forgiveness come up now and then, sometimes from a specific person, sometimes a group topic. The responses are varied - of course they are - but next time I attend I may bring up this series, and this book in particular, for those interested in thoughtful and cogent fiction on the topic. Kris Ripper dealt with the subject perfectly for these characters. More generally, and in real life: after an infidelity, if you want to not just preserve what you have, but make it better and stronger so infidelity isn't tempting, then it takes time and no little amount of patience. It requires bravery, and a good therapist is invaluable. If it isn't scary, you're not down to what needs to change yet. And change comes from ALL parties. This is the part many people miss. Also, there are people who cannot keep a promise. You either accept that, or you end that relationship. Regardless, you examine your guilt and fear, or your hurt and anger, to learn what you need to change. And then TALK about it. The mantra, the three most important "rules" of polyamory, apply to any relationship: communicate, communicate, communicate. No one can read your mind. You have to talk. And you have to listen. There are no shortcuts without repercussions. This is a really good story. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
