Description

Holly thought she knew exactly where her life was headed.

After nine years with her boyfriend, she's convinced a proposal is just around the corner. Instead, she's blindsided when he suggests opening their relationship—a future she never imagined and isn't sure she wants.

Meanwhile, Fliss has spent years happily embracing an open relationship with her boyfriend, Ash. But just as she enters a new chapter of life, Ash announces he wants to become exclusive, forcing Fliss to question everything she believes about love, commitment, and living life on her own terms.

When the two women unexpectedly meet after disastrous dates, an unlikely friendship blossoms. Together, they strike a deal: Fliss will teach Holly how to navigate the world of non-monogamy, while Holly helps Fliss explore the realities of monogamy. As each woman steps outside her comfort zone, they begin to realize that love isn't about following someone else's rules—it's about discovering what truly makes them happy.

Funny, heartfelt, and refreshingly honest, Open Minded is a thoughtful exploration of modern relationships, self-discovery, and the many different paths to finding your happily ever after.
