With all due respect, and remember I said all due respect...Nope!!! Major eye-roll at everyone in this book. LOL. You can definitely tell that this book, all though well written, was written by a man simply based on how the topic of polyamory was addressed. There wasn't any real depth to the characters which made this come off (to me!) as an essay more than a story. I just can't get down with any of the philosophy presented here. Again, the writing and flow weren't bad. It just wasn't my cup of tea.

I was debating on what I would rate this book throughout. The more I read, I was convinced Solomon was truly a character. His notion that Jan would accept his proposal is what kept me reading. I found the conversations with Solomon & his male buddies, & Jan with her female friends a well written discussion as they stated their opinions. While I knew it was coming, & I didnt agree, the choices made still surprised me. 3.5/4.0

The book pushed an agenda. The agenda was polyamory is within men and it is a lifestyle that allows men to be honest. I didn't like the characters. The story line was not believable. It could've been a great story. The writer tried too hard and the timelines and actions/reactions didn't make much sense.

You got to be kidding
For the most part I enjoyed this book. ! But..... give me a break, its written one woman to one man. I can't believe in today's world that people believe this way. I know it was only a story. But I don't think density had anything to do with it.

Beautifully written
This is the story of my life.
It made me see that we have been deprived of our culture. And we are blind to what we as a person need in our lives.
I commend Solomon for earning his truth, and sticking to it.
Great read.. Moeiel thank you.

Beautiful story
The story started out like any two married couples in love but the trials and tribulations they experienced were profound. A beautiful ending with value lessons anyone can learn in relationships. I enjoyed this book very much!

This book sucked
I did not like this book. First the way it was written was just crazy. People do not speak like that at all. I also felt like the author was not believable in his character portrayals. It was just a book that felt like it was trying too hard

Great read!
I picked this book because of the title. It started out really good and held my attention the entire way through. I've found myself in a triangle before so I definitely know of the complications. Great book!

Good book
This book was an interesting journey to follow. It opens your eyes to look at love in a new light. Although taboo as stated in the book. It’s definitely worth reading

Really...
That’s what I was saying to myself over and over as I read this book. The ending left me empty and confused. Only a man could fathom this bullshit.

Felt like a lecture
I’m open for the topic but the story dragged through like a lecture in favor of the content. So much of it that is takes away from the story line and you forget it’s actual characters involved.

Great story
This story definitely kept me at the edge of my seat but the ending could've went into a little more detail.

This story line is different than any I have ever read and I've read a lot. While I enjoyed this author's writing style, I found the ending to be incredulous and unrealistic in today's society.
*SPOILER ALERT* Never heard of a woman who was already married to a man for several years, finds out he's cheating, and then agrees to share him with his mistress and they live happily ever after. The Black women I know don't care how they do it in Africa.
I would not read a sequel to this book if there was one, but would read this author's work again.
