Publisher's summary

Newlyweds Alice and Jake are a picture-perfect couple. Alice, once a singer in a well-known rock band, is now a successful lawyer. Jake is a partner in an up-and-coming psychology practice. Their life together holds endless possibilities. After receiving an enticing wedding gift from one of Alice's prominent clients, they decide to join an exclusive and mysterious group known only as the Pact.

The goal of the Pact seems simple: to keep marriages happy and intact. And most of its rules make sense: Always answer the phone when your spouse calls. Exchange thoughtful gifts monthly. Plan a trip together once per quarter. Never mention the Pact to anyone. Alice and Jake are initially seduced by the glamorous parties, the sense of community, their widening social circle of like-minded couples. And then one of them breaks the rules. The young lovers are about to discover that for adherents to the Pact, membership, like marriage, is for life. And the Pact will go to any lengths to enforce that rule. For Jake and Alice, the marriage of their dreams is about to become their worst nightmare.

Didn't want it to end!

Not your usual suspense subject matter. Fast-paced, intricate and fascinating. Your mind will thank you.

Excellent!

I couldn't stop listening. Good writing kept me wanting to know what would happen next. Only bogged down a few times and got a little wordy in places. Even had some good advice mixed in. Highly recommended!

very enjoyable

I really enjoyed this book... it was so hard for me to ever hit the pause button. It kept me hooked the whole time. I love the idea of marriage & commitment that is conveyed in this story.

Great listen

I found this book to have twists and turns that were not easily figured out. The characters are likable and believable, given their situation. The story was well thought out and well written. It left me thinking about it for a few days after finishing it. It is mysterious and well worth the time.

Friend.

I recommend giving it a try. It will keep you on your toes and makes you realize a lot about marriage, sacrifices, and love. Doing better for yourself and your partner.

Good story until the end

I really enjoyed this book. Up until the last few minutes, that is. It had a great concept, well written and I enjoyed the twist, turns and intrigue. But the end just fell flat

Amazingly written, by far my favorite audible yet.

Loved this book. The main character drifts of in thought a lot about marriage or inner struggles, I mostly don't like that in books, as it delays the story, but I actually enjoyed that in this book and felt it flowed with the storyline. I kept skipping this book, and I'm glad I finally gave it a chance, because it was definitely worth a listen.

Long and boring

Sorry I don't agree with most of the other reviews. I had a hard time finishing it. To long. Just average in the interesting department.

Makes you think about wedded BLISS

I loved the narrator. He gave life to the characters and kept the story intriguing. The story itself was equally engaging. It explored love, commitment, and the dark side of saying "I do " to anything .
