In general, a well-thought-out, thorough book. It begins a nice discussion of current family/relationship law (particularly in the United States), and finishes with proposed methods to fix such laws by valuing all families, instead of the currently dominant marriage/marriage-like approach.

However, the book could have been more radical in the types of families addressed. The book rarely discusses families with more than two adults (even the non-conjugal families it mentions are often pairs children. or single individuals caring for dependents).

This was a good book, and I'd recommend it to anyone involved in LGBT rights in the United States.

A few short anecdotes in early chapters seems strangely ignorant of trans issues. (They tended to misgender the person and say they had a "sex change".) Which was weird, because trans issues around marriage law were discussed explicitly in later chapters.
