Editoral Review
Kelly Jamieson’s Rhythm of Three is a captivating romantic novel set in contemporary North America that explores the dynamics of polyamory. Published in October 2013, the book is a testament to Jamieson’s writing prowess and her aptitude for conveying complex emotions and experiences with ease and sensitivity.
The novel introduces readers to Emma, a successful businesswoman who is seeking fulfillment in her love life. After developing feelings for her two long-time friends, Carter and Isaac, the three embark on a polyamorous relationship that challenges traditional notions of love and commitment.
However, Emma’s trepidation regarding the societal stigma and internal conflicts regarding the relationship open the door for reflexive analyses regarding the human experience and its complexities. Jamieson’s writing style is poignant and descriptive, setting the tone for an immersive reading experience.
The characters are well-written and multifaceted, with their motivations and actions being fully fleshed out. The novel’s pacing is consistent, with the story gravitating around the complexities of the love triangle and examining not only the characters’ relationships but also their insecurities, ideals, and personal growth.
Rhythm of Three is a refreshing take on the traditional love triangle trope that addresses themes of bisexuality, sex positivity, and polyamory. In a culture where these topics are often overlooked, Jamieson delivers a compelling and inviting narrative that opens the door to dialogues about non-traditional types of love and respect.
However, the book’s dialogue does feel a bit stilted and unconvincing at times. Further depth in the characters relationships with each other beyond their romantic interests would have helped create a more significant emotional impact.
Despite this, Rhythm of Three is a beautifully written and insightful exploration of love and relationships beyond the traditional bounds. Overall, Rhythm of Three is a captivating read for anyone interested in the complexities of human relationships and experiences.
It receives a well-deserved four stars, as it is an excellent addition to the contemporary romance genre. Kelly Jamieson’s skillful storytelling and ability to craft complex and relatable characters ensure that the novel leaves a lasting impression on readers.
