Playing

by Laura Jennings

What happens when you challenge everything you thought you knew about love, marriage, and identity?

After two decades in a monogamous marriage, Laura Jennings made a choice that changed everything – she and her husband opened their relationship. What started as an experiment quickly became a journey of self-discovery, desire, and personal liberation.

Playing is not a guide or a manifesto – it’s an unfiltered, deeply personal account of navigating non-traditional relationships while balancing marriage, motherhood, and societal expectations. With honesty, humour, and vulnerability, Laura explores the complexities of love, autonomy, and the courage it takes to break the mould.

Raw, thought-provoking, and refreshingly candid – this is a story of redefining marriage on her own terms.

This book was an eye opening look at the open marriage of two people. A topic that isn’t really openly discussed these days, I learned so much. The author explores the good, bad, fun, and difficult. Well written and packed with insight, this book is a must read for anyone with an open mind.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Quite interesting, One persons experience of serial non monogamy and some BDSM experimentation.

Only a few bits of descriptive writing of actual occasions but mainly reasons pro and against. Not a bad book.
