Bought this in addition to Page Turner's other book, not intending to use it as an actual guide not finding a unicorn. As fare would have it we did happen to meet someone in the course of reading the book and it's been an invaluable resource. Her brutally honest advice has helped me face my fears head on and tackle hard issues in a more productive way.

This a super quick read and I appreciated the geeky references. I bought this because it was the cheapest non-monogamy book on my amazon wishlist and I was in the mood to review something on that subject. I have been in non-monogamous circles long enough to know that "unicorn hunters" get a bad reputation and to also understand why that is the case. I was surprised to find that this book wasn't trying to dissuade people from looking for a unicorn, but instead was written by a unicorn and had actual advice. Given that it was written by a unicorn, actually has useful information, and is such a quick read, I will certainly be recommending it the next time a newly open couple shows up to the local polyamory meetup. Unfortunately, however, the last two chapters in the book contain a lot of typing mistakes (e.g. "mmany times" on page 59).

Super helpful and straight forward introduction to something too many couples do without thinking. Farming not hunting, just like in networking.
