Vulnerable, provocative, and laugh-out-loud honest, OPENED is more than a story about non-monogamy-it's about what happens when a woman stops asking for permission to want more.
Courtney Boyer was a therapist and relationship coach who spent years teaching others how to communicate, connect, and love. But behind closed doors, her own marriage was suffocating. After years of rejection, loneliness, and shrinking herself to fit the mold of perfect wife and mother, she makes a bold, terrifying proposal at her seventeenth wedding anniversary: What if we opened the marriage?
What begins as a desperate bid to save her relationship becomes a raw, unflinching journey of self-discovery. From deconstructing purity culture to navigating desire, body image, and patriarchy, Courtney's memoir peels back every layer of conditioning to reveal the woman she was always meant to be.
This isn't a guidebook. It's an intimate reckoning with marriage, motherhood, shame, and the price of finally choosing yourself. Courtney's journey is messy, sexy, and most of all, real. And it just might make you question everything you've been taught about what women are allowed to want.
If you've ever wondered what it costs to silence your own needs-or what it takes to finally claim them-this book will meet you there. Honest, sensual, and deeply human, this memoir is a rallying cry for anyone who's ever wondered: Is this all there is?
