Hello Page Turners!
I’ve got a good one for you today.
So last week I did a lot of reading. Got through a lot of books and The Marriage Pact was one I finished.
This book is about a couple who is recently married and is approached by someone who invites them to join the marriage pact. Now The Marriage Pact is a tight group of people that is formed to help marriages last. This young couple, Alice and Jake, think this is the perfect thing for them. They are in love and want their marriage to last so they immediately join the Marriage Pact.
But the pact is not like any other marriage group to enhance the beauty of marriage. This is more like a cult with rules you must abide by and if you don’t you will be punished.
Punishments come with jail time, wearing ornaments that show you have been convicted of not treating your spouse right or not abiding by the rules and somehow, the members of this pact know your every move.
But then Jake comes in contact with an old friend of his who is also in the pact and she begins to tell him things that don’t seem right. He begins to believe that he and his wife shouldn’t have joined the pact and they want out.
I will say this had my attention from the beginning because my only question was how do they get out of this. The punishments were crazy and they story was fast-paced and made my heart race. But towards the end I began to want the story to be over. The situations were just too much. When Jake finally started understanding what he should do to get him and his wife out of the pact it just became too much. Some of the things the pact had Alice and Jake doing was a bit much and I wondered, do people really join groups like this because they think it will make their marriage better? This book does make you think. I gave it four stars.
