About this listen

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.

Started off well. Parts were fabulously gripping but it's almost like the end is rushed and although predictable, very vanilla.

Predictable but Readable

The plot is very old, there are a lot of similar books and movies. But is was interesting to listen to. The ending is unusual. A lot of different facts and opinions about marriage. I give this book 4 stars

Interesting book

Liked the story, loved the narrator. It’s not an unrealistic story, like some have said. I probably wouldn’t read it physically on my own, but the narrator pulled me in!

Love the narrator

I just love a book with a good twist. I couldn't stop listening to it.

Really enjoyed it!

This book brings into focus the importance of continuously working on a marriage that is worth holding on to. While remaining cognisant that not all marriages are meant to last a life time.

Compelling.
