'Enjoying this moving and honest memoir by Lucy Fry on building a queer polyamorous relationship. Finding it very interesting and easy to read so far. Gorgeous cover, too!' – Katie is Reading, bookstagrammer
'An intoxicating, thrilling and compelling read. A very honest and real portrayal of her relationships as an adult and also with her parents in childhood. The content is explicit but necessary and the writing is brilliant.' – Amy and Books, bookstagrammer
'This is a heady, chaotic collection of thoughts and feelings. It’s up and down and side to side and you feel emotionally exhausted reading - feeling as though you’ve lived through the trials and complexities alongside ‘L’. Beautiful paragraphs metamorphosing depression, love and mental health.' – Brogan's Bookshelf, bookstagrammer
'Lucy Fry weaves thistles and roses, with blistered & bleeding hands, into a creative account of her life; childhood trauma, depression, addiction, sobriety, queerness, parenthood, sex, infidelity, ethical non-monogamy and polyamory. This is a pain-soaked read, but Lucy shines a bright light on what all too often stays hidden. She kicks ‘the unsaid’ directly between its monstrous eyes. She is wild.' – Zoe Hearts Books, bookstagrammer
'Beautifully written [and] stunningly put together.' – Cen_sational Reads, bookstagrammer
'The book starts in an extremely divisive matter, launching straight into an affair the author was having whilst her wife was pregnant. Fry employs this level of shock throughout the book, building the reader up and then employing hard truths when your guard is down. This is a book in which you learn as much about yourself as you do the author.' – Jodie Reads Books, bookstagrammer
'This isn’t always an easy read and Lucy writes unapologetically about self-discovery and finding her way. That is what makes this book so special. If you have struggled with figuring out who you are and who you’re becoming as a woman, or a mother, or a wife/partner, I think you will recognise elements of yourself in Lucy’s writing. I know I did.' – Little Red Library, bookstagrammer
'Lucy’s prose is intelligent, funny, acerbic and wonderfully descriptive. A delicate and beautiful exploration of what love can mean in our modern, sexually liberalised society. Definitely one to read to gain new perspectives on life and love, after all, it is essentially a love story but one that explores loves greatest highs and lows.' – The Candid Book Club, Bookstagrammers
'A beautiful, searing and whip-smart account of love of all kinds. In offering such a vivid and honest reflection on her own experiences, Fry invites us all to reflect on the ways in which love and loss-of-love profoundly shape our lives. Reminiscent of Maggie Nelson’s The Argonauts, reading this book will change the way you think – and feel – about love.' – Meg-John Barker, author of Rewriting the Rules and Queer: A Graphic History
