I know this might be a silly question, but is this book inclusive of queer relationships? I'm unfamiliar with the author.

I believe there's on mention of a pair of gay men, and maybe a similar pair of lesbians. But there's definitely not much discussion of problems of infidelity surrounding gender identity (zero...). For the most part the relationships discussed are heterosexual in model. I do not say this as a criticism, because I think many "queer" relationships end up being heterosexual in model, and many "queers" can learn a lot from reading this book, but really this is a pretty mainstream book. If you want to figure out what cheating on your polyamorous queer non-binary girlfriend means, uh, you can start with this book, but you won't get any prescriptions or indicative discussion. (less)

And Yes, is a great book to understand the roots, the challenges, the implications and the benefits some time of the infidelity.
Enjoy the book and close the wound/ memory of that relationship.
