The Marriage Pact: A Novel

The Marriage Pact: A Novel

2017

This book was like my former marriage in that...

I had such hope and realistic expectations going into this! I was excited to get started, but I grew tired of the whole thing very early on. Boy, did It drag. The Marriage Pact was such a fascinating concept, but the story went nowhere. Halfway through, I wondered if it was even possible for it to get better. I invested myself fully - not wanting to give up - but, in the end, I'm glad that it's finally over with and I'm thankful that I'll never have to endure it again. Next!

(Shout out to me ex if he gets a hold of this review: I'm just going for the joke here. šŸ™„)

Fun fact: With three changes this quote can be tailored to The Marriage Pact:

ā€œI wish I could come up with an easy formula for inserting surprise back into a marriage.* That simple change could be the salvation for so many marriages** I've seen. The Marriage Defibrillator, I'd call it. A good, shell shock to revive the system.ā€replace ā€œa marriageā€ with ā€œthis bookā€ replace ā€œmarriagesā€ with ā€œbooksā€
