More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory is a non-fiction book about consensual non-monogamous relationships, written by Franklin Veaux and Eve Rickert. The foreword is written by Janet Hardy, co-author of The Ethical Slut.[1] The book shares the same name as Veaux's website MoreThanTwo.com, which he launched in 1997 as a resource about polyamory.[2]
More than Two received positive reviews within polyamorous communities upon publication.[3][4][5] The book was a finalist in the Family & Relationships category for the 2014 Indiefab Awards (later rebranded as the Foreword INDIES).[6][7]
In 2019, a group of Franklin Veaux's former partners and others, including More than Two co-author Eve Rickert and three of the women whom Franklin had told personal stories about in More than Two and in Veaux's memoir, The Game Changer, went public describing negative experiences with Veaux over the course of their relationships with him.[8] The accusations led to other critical analyses of the book.[9] Rickert has since published on her own blog criticizing certain parts of More than Two and describing how the ideas within them contributed to negative experiences in her relationship with Veaux.[10][11]
