From the bestselling author of In an Instant comes a heartfelt short story about one couple’s journey to discover if there really is a secret ingredient to happily ever after before their upcoming holiday wedding.
When Ava Barnes’s boyfriend, Justin, proposes after a whirlwind romance, the young couple embarks on a quest that will test their love. For generations, engaged couples in Ava’s family have traveled into the Everglades to retrieve the egg of the magnificent frigate bird in order to bake it into a marriage cake. Those who succeed live happily ever after, while those who fail are destined for heartbreak. With Ava’s beloved grandmother gravely ill, never has the marriage tradition meant so much. Ava’s dream is to pass the test so her grandmother can attend Ava’s holiday wedding to the man she loves.
So Ava, Justin, and their best friend Walton as a witness set off on a remarkable adventure that will challenge the true depth of their character and devotion. An emotional, heartrending journey of self-discovery, The Marriage Test turns out to be far more than any of them imagined.
Is there any test more challenging than a test of love?

Karissa Vacker is the solo female performer of The Marriage Test. I enjoyed the performance. If the audiobook is available I usually buy it in addition to the ebook. Having great voice actors read to me has become my guilty pleasure.

Focaccia is eaten at dinner in chapter 1, and the way Ava speaks of it, you know she isn't a baker, but I let it go. However, chapter 3 is all about making cake and I was done. First, you cannot bake a decent cake, let alone the best chocolate cake ever created, without measuring any ingredients; it is impossible and fantastical. Second, you cannot roll butter and sugar together like a cinnamon stick to aerate the batter. The warmth of your hands will melt it and create a greasy mixture, not one that's light and airy. Third, we find out, contrary to what is alluded to in the first chapter, Ava, in fact, loves to bake.
To make matters worse, I knew before the end of chapter 2 how this story would end. But then, we don't get to see the events that lead to the conclusion, or even get told a recap, just the outcome, which left me feeling irritated and bored.
Karissa Vacker was an amazing narrator. I really enjoyed her voice and how she spoke like she was Ava.
I do appreciate the message behind the book and what is believed to help see if you and your partner are able to have a strong marriage. This and the narrator are why I rate this 2 stars instead of 1.
