Review:
''More: A Memoir of Open Marriage by Molly Roden Winter is a breathtakingly candid and electric debut that explores the complexities of marriage, motherhood, and self-fulfillment through the lens of an open relationship. Molly, a mother of small children with a husband who often works late, finds herself in an unexpected open marriage when her husband encourages her to accept a date with a flirtatious younger man she met at a bar. What follows is a life-changing journey of self-discovery as Molly navigates dating sites, passionate flings, and the complicated emotions of jealousy, insecurity, and doubt. She and her husband, Stewart, set ground rules—don't date an ex, don't date someone in the neighborhood, don't go to anyone's home, and above all, don't fall in love—but they soon break most of them. Through therapy sessions and revelations about her parents' own open marriage, Molly grapples with her past and what it means to be a whole person. The Washington Post called it 'the book about open marriage that is going to blow up your group chat,' and the New York Times praised it as 'breathtakingly candid.' With warmth, humor, and style, Winter delivers an unputdownable journey of a woman becoming her most authentic self.''
