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

This is the first time I am reading a book by Michelle Richmond. The title of the book (The Marriage Pact) made me curious to read this book. Book was engaging except for some time when, I thought the story should move a little more faster, otherwise I enjoyed the various plots and scene, which kept making me want to read the whole book till the end. I like Jake’s character in this story very much, he would go to any end to solve issue’s for his wife Alice.
All successful marriage’s work on a pact you make with yourself and your spouse, and how you work towards making it a lasting  marriage. I would recommend this book to my friends, its a good fictional read.
