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.

I've been waiting for a great book

This is it, the author is profoundly intelligent, and the story makes you think at a deep level. Just brilliant 👏

Turns into a far fetched horror

After a promising start this turned into big brother horror style story.
Did not finish

Initially intriguing, continues to disappoint.

Intriguing beginning, but story becomes more and more ridiculous and I barely made it to the end. it is well read though.

Good book, but

It is a good book with much potential, but the ending was very disappointing unfortunately.

Great until it wasn’t

Had me interested until about the last 2 hours and then it unravelled for me
