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.

Review will be posted on Instagram and Amazon on pub day and links added to NetGalley.

I really enjoyed the overall feel to this nonfiction book and enjoyed the realistic element of this book. It was engaging and had that memoir element that I wanted and was promised in this description. Laura Jennings wrote this well and left me wanting to read more.

Found this book very interesting, with a in-depth review of what it’s like to be in an open marriage , as the couple explore this and exploring the world of swinging

Playing is a thoughtful, quietly emotional piece that captures the tension between innocence and growing self-awareness. Laura Jennings writing feels intimate and observant, with subtle details that make the characters and their inner conflicts feel real. It’s a short read, but it lingers especially in how it portrays the fragile line between childhood freedom and the pressures of the adult world.

4 stars

Quite interesting, One persons experience on 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.
