Publisher's summary

In a series of genre-blending essays, Entwined tells the story of Alex Alberto’s decade-long polyamorous journey toward a new kind of family. In these essays, Alex attempts to build two committed relationships at once when no one involved has done it before; develops a powerful bond with the woman their partner loves; comes out to religious in-laws during a tense Thanksgiving dinner; questions the need for rules and hierarchy in their relationships; experiences the intensity of a triad; wrestles with the fragility baked into the nuclear family after their father’s stroke; and explores their queerness and gender identity in English, in New York, while struggling to reconcile their newfound self in their native French-Canadian language and culture.

Entwined explores the fuzzy lines between friendship, romance, and family with various essay forms, including a play, an advice column, and a love letter. Rather than wallowing in the throes of jealousy, this collection celebrates the hard work, humor, and wisdom needed to create a love life that resists conventional narratives.

A memoir that gently opens your mind and heart

This book is unlike anything I’ve ever read. Alberto’s 10-year journey of discovery (polyamory, gender identity) is sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, but always entertaining and enlightening. I love that the author narrates the book themself, because you can really feel the emotion of every experience and realization. The hint of their French Canadian accent just adds to the feeling that you’re a new friend listening to a great storyteller regale you with the twists and turns of a life (much) less traveled. The wisdom and empathy Alberto has developed, and their unique perspective of relationships, has changed the way I think about romance and friendship in my own life. It’s a really special book!

Amazing!!!

This book had made me cry, laugh and feel so many things. I had discovered so much about myself while listening and this book had made me feel not so alone in how I’ve been thinking throughout my poly journey I highly recommend!!
