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

Gripping thriller with lots of twists. Very thought provoking - what makes a good marriage, what would you sacrifice for yours, what constitutes a cult, do ends justify means....

Gripping!

I loved the first half of this book , I was gripped , the plot had me on the edge of my seat …….until it didn’t ; it was a book of two halves , it had real potential to keep you hooked until the end ; I could buy Into the strange “cult “ with a very long reach , but it just got silly in the second half , it just went from “ok maybe “ to “how ridiculous “.

Great first half , terrible second !
