Monday, June 2, 7:30 pm -- JENNY BLOCK BOOKPARTY: "Open: Love, Sex, and Life in an Open Marriage"
Jenny Block is proud to present her first book, “Open: Love, Sex, and Life in an Open Marriage,” to be released June 1 by Seal Press. Finally, a book about open marriage that grapples with the problems surrounding monogamy and fidelity in an honest, heartfelt, and non-fringe manner.

Jenny Block is your average girl next door, a suburban wife and mother for whom married life never felt quite right. While many books on this topic presuppose that the reader is ready to embrace an “alternative lifestyle,” Block operates from the assumption that most couples who are curious about or engaged in open marriages are simply good people who love their spouses but want variation; capable parents who are not deviant just because they choose to be honest about their desires. Open challenges our notions of what traditional marriage looks like, and presents one woman's journey down an uncertain path that ultimately proves that open marriage is a viable option, and one that's in fact better for some couples than conventional marriage.
