Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author providing me an ARC for my honest review.

I wanted to really enjoy this book. The premise was interesting at the start of the novel. About 1/2 way through this book, I started to lose interest and could not wait for it to end.

Jake and Alice are a couple who have been together for awhile before Jake asks Alice to marry him. A last minute invitation of one of Alice's clients sets off a roller coaster ride of membership into the "Marriage Pact". At first the Pact sounds interesting and exciting to Jake and Alice as it is a "way" to keep their marriage intact forever. However, as time goes on, the "Marriage Pact" appears to be a "cult" with real consequences (similar to the legal system) for disobedience against the rules.

I liked the book for about 50% of it. It was interesting to learn more about Jake and Alice along with the "Marriage Pact". However, the story then began to drag on and on and on. The storyline seemed to go stale and was not sure what the author wanted to do to wrap up this story. The ending was quite a bit of a let down. I felt it was a rush ending and did not provide any significant meaning.
