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.

Friend

A very long listen. A rather inconceivable storyline, big brother eyes and ears everywhere? Interesting ending...

Had me interested until about the last 2 hours and then it unravelled for me

I've been waiting for a great book

This is it, the author is profoundly intelligent, and the story makes you think at a deep level. Just brilliant 👏

Didn’t get the ending

It’s a strange far fetched story but great characters abd narration. It annoyed me in that they didn’t check many details when they joined the Pact!

brilliant!

so much more to this than I originally thought. Perhaps a bit overdone with the punishments and how did the Pact know just what they were doing?? But it's a great listen. Different!

A Riveting read & thought provoking topics

it was a novel concept and I honestly couldn't put it down! The author paints a feasible scenario that made me think long and hard about the topic of Marriage. it was interesting, suspenseful and well constructed

Not bad for a freebie

It's ok for a freebie however found the narrator's voice of Alice extremely annoying! I see what the writer aimed to do with the ending but could of been delivered better perhaps. It's entertaining enough overall

Bit unbelievable but still interesting

Story is at times a bit hard to believe but if you know a bit about psychology you can see where the writer is going.
Nice narrator.
