“[A] refreshingly candid and provocative narrative… [T]he author
adds a dash of humor and incisive observation to almost every page
of her text with comic book-style drawings… Johnson's multipronged
approach not only demystifies a much-maligned and misunderstood
practice; it also makes for enjoyable, accessible reading.
Illuminating and entertaining.”—Kirkus Review
"Sophie Lucido Johnson is funny, feminist, smart,
and, annoyingly, a very talented illustrator to
boot. Many Love is a compassionate and convincing love story,
and a must-read for anyone who feels left out by our culture's
one-size-fits-all, heterosexual, monogamous norms."—Katie Heaney,
author of Never Have I Ever and Would You Rather?
“In this candid memoir, Johnson delivers a combination of humorous
illustrations, personal experience, and even a section to answer
questions, to chart her journey to polyamory and debunk myths about
her choice.”—Bitch Media
“Johnson has created an unjaded portrait of “unconventional” love,
and reading it feels like you’ve both been introduced to a new,
exceedingly cool best friend and granted access to a kind of
interpersonal, anthropological wisdom that will cause you to
reevaluate every preconceived ideal you had about family and
commitment. To call Many Love compulsively readable is a
gross understatement. This book will split you wide open.”—Kristen
Radtke, author of Imagine Wanting Only This
"Many Love may be about polyamory, but it's just like any
touching coming of age story - just with a bit of a different
inter-personal structure. Warm, revealing and honest, it's a
welcoming read, no matter what structure for love you have in your
life."—Jen A Miller, author of Running: A Love Story
"Many Love is funny, poignant and valuable for any person
interested in relationships—be it with lovers, friends, or oneself.
With a beautiful intertwining of words and pictures, of thoughts
and ideas, Sophie Lucido Johnson has crafted a personal story
that's universally applicable. I have many loves for Many
Love."—Myq Kaplan
"Sophie Lucido Johnson’s Many Love is completely delightful. Smart,
sparkly and kind, like a great conversation with an old friend.
Johnson brings sanity, perspective and wit to her examination of
the propaganda that surrounds traditional romance, and offers a
well-considered way of reinventing it."—Liana Finck, author of
Passing for Human
“A fast-paced debut… Discussing her adulthood in New Orleans and
Chicago, the author is refreshingly honest about meeting people on
Tinder and Craigslist and seeking to redefine the meaning of
partner and commitment… A candid, modern take on polyamory for fans
of memoirs and graphic novels, and anyone interested in stories of
dating, love, and romance.”—Library Journal
“Johnson uses her own life as the framing device to gently bring
readers into understanding polyamory… Whether readers pick
up Many Love because they want to explore polyamory for
themselves or just want to learn more, Johnson’s story offers
insight for everyone as we all explore what it means to be in
relation to one another."—Culture Trip
