With raw and intimate prose, Louisa Leontiades unflinchingly shares her story, with all its drama, passion, joy and conflict as she and her husband stumble, make mistakes, and look for a path to a sustainable polyamorous future. This is not a how-to manual or a guide to polyamory. It is the true story of four ordinary people who challenged monogamy to pursue a utopia of limitless love.
Polyamorous people and people who have experimented with open relationships will recognize themselves in this story. Readers who are unfamiliar with non-monogamy can find ideas that may help them avoid some of the mistakes Leontiades and her partners have made. This second edition has been fully reedited and features substantial new material.

Lessons in Love and Life to My Younger Self is the companion guide to the memoir. If you could travel back in time to give yourself advice, what would you say? What does opening your relationship teach you about the nature of life, love and yourself? Could they have avoided the heartache? Did the experience bring limitless love and possibilities, or was it all just one huge mistake?
Candid, honest, and eye-opening, The Husband Swap is as unforgettable as it is unconventional.
—Clint Travis, Reviewer’s Bookwatch, Midwest Book Review
The Husband Swap gives a much-needed peek at the always-entertaining world of polyamory and quads. It’s wonderful reading for anyone curious about the possibilities of love beyond monogamy.
—Arianne Cohen, author of The Sex Diaries Project
Hilarious. Poignant. Thrillingly erotic. Mind-opening. Heartbreaking.
Louisa Leontiades has a powerful voice and the courage to live into her questions.
— Lucy H. Pearce, author of The Rainbow Way and Moon Time
Read this book carefully. There are excellent lessons in it, like a lovely coral reef
below turbulent waves.
—from the foreword by Noël Lynne Figart, author of The Polyamorous Misanthrope
I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good story involving polyamory, and to poly newcomers for an open-eyed look at some of what can go wrong in a poly relationship.
—Jessica Burde, author of Polyamory on Purpose
