OPEN
An Uncensored Memoir of Love, Liberation, and Non-Monogamy
Non-monogamy. Gaslighting. Bisexuality. Dom/sub relationships. The debut memoir from Bustle founding editor Rachel Krantz, OPEN is an unprecedented exploration of non-monogamy, as Krantz takes the taboo subject out from behind hidden doors and into the light by chronicling her first open relationship with unflinching candor.
When Rachel Krantz met and fell for Adam, he told her he was looking for a committed partnership - just one that did not include exclusivity. Intrigued and more than a little nervous, Rachel decided to see whether their love could coexist with the freedom to date other people. Could they strike an exquisite balance between intimacy and independence?
For four years, Rachel Krantz recorded everything. As an award-winning journalist, she recognized that there was an amazing story unfolding in her own life, so she put her investigative skills to work, not only interrogating her own emotions but also interviewing scientists, psychologists, sex researchers, and real people living and loving outside the mainstream - all in an effort to understand what non-monogamy would do to her life.
The result is a firecracker of a memoir. Open: An Uncensored Memoir of Love, Liberation, and Non-Monogamy Liberation, and Non-Monogamy is the first warts-and-all exploration of non-monogamy, groundbreaking in both its documentarian approach and its taboo subject matter. Part memoir, part how-t, and part cautionary tale, the book's unique mix psychosexual memoir and investigative journalism add up to a page-turner that reads like fiction.
With stunning vulnerability and beautiful prose, Rachel puts her whole self on the line as she goes down the rabbit hole of non-monogamy. From the training grounds of Brooklyn's sex parties to the punk-sounding style of Relationship Anarchy, she searches for a relationship that answers her need for love and security alongside passion and possibility.
Rachel Krantz is a journalist and one of the founding editors of Bustle, where she served as senior features editor for three years. Her work has been featured on NPR, The Guardian, Vox, Vice, and many other outlets. She's the recipient of the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, the Investigative Reporters and Editors Radio Award, the Edward R. Murrow Award, and the Peabody Award for her work as an investigative reporter.
