Picture-perfect newlyweds Alice and Jake are unexpectedly initiated into a mysterious organization designed to keep marriages happy and intact through seemingly sensible rules that become increasingly exacting and subject to brutal enforcement.
Why did I like this book? It was so damn interesting, this group of successful couples have a pact about marriage and you would not believe the bizarre rules and punishments. Newlyweds Alice and Jake willingly sign this pact before realizing what exactly they signed up for. What follows is the most bizarre look at how to keep your marriage perfect and what happens if you break even one rule. There is actually a marriage prison!! I was a bit amused by this book , I mean it was so over the top and unrealistic but I did enjoy it. For instance if you gain weight, they have weigh ins, you have to do grueling workouts with a personal trainer until you lose the weight. The couples have to remain the weight that they were on their wedding day, Friend. The Pact takes marriage and it's book of rules, The Manual, very seriously and members call each other Friend. While I did love this book at first , for me the middle dragged , it picked up again at the end though. I went on quite a roller coaster ride with Jake as he tries to find a way out of The Pact but Friend, there may not be a way out unless you die. This book was so over the top but enjoyable.This review was originally posted on Cindy's Book Binge
