Tackles the myths of monogamy

If you've ever felt like the traditional relationship escalator just wasn't built for you, Radical Relating by Mel Cassidy is the road map you didn't know you needed. This queer and polyamory-informed guide dives deep into the myths of monogamy, offering a refreshing, lifestyle-affirming, and thoroughly modern take on how to build romantic relationships on our own terms.

Queers to the front, please

With a queer lens that challenges heteronormative assumptions at every turn this book unpacks the social scripts we've all been handed and invites you to rewrite your own. From navigating jealousy and compersion to building consent-forward agreements with multiple partners, it covers the full spectrum of what it means to relate radically. Not just theory, Radical Relating, offers practical grounded wisdom that speaks directly to the lived experiences of polyamorous and queer folks who are done apologizing for how they love.
