A thoughtful and personal exploration of open marriage, challenging traditional ideas of fidelity and connection. In Open: Love, Sex, and Life in an Open Marriage, author Jenny Block shares her deeply personal journey navigating the world of non-monogamy within the structure of a committed relationship. Rather than framing open marriage as a fringe lifestyle, Block writes with honesty, warmth, and nuance about the real-life experiences, emotional challenges, and profound intimacy that can come from choosing a non-traditional path. This is not a how-to manual, but a powerful narrative about identity, love, and the freedom to define your own version of partnership. Whether you're just curious about ethical non-monogamy or already exploring open relationships, Open offers insight into one woman’s lived experience and the broader cultural questions around what it means to love freely and authentically.
