Book Review: The Arrangement by Kiersten Modglin

Tweet

[/i]Ainsley Greenburg is a fixer. It's what she prides herself on.[i] [/i]So, when she realizes her marriage is at its breaking point, she makes a decision to repair it, no matter the cost. Approaching her husband to propose the arrangement is supposed to be the hard part, but Peter agrees to the salacious plan almost immediately.[i] [/i]The Rules are simple: They will each date someone new once a week. They will never discuss what happens on the dates.[i] [/i]Soon, though, the rules are broken, turning terrible mistakes into unspeakable consequences. When the only person they can count on to keep their darkest secret is each other, new questions and deceits surface. Can they truly trust the person they share a life with, or will the vicious lies that have mounted over the years destroy everything they've built?[i] [/i]Once, Peter and Ainsley vowed to stand together forever, but as they push boundaries of deception, suspicion, and temptation, each begins to wonder if 'til death do us part' may come sooner than they intended.[i] ~~~~ Honestly, I am still processing this book. I may not have a good review until I read the second book in the series, The Amendment. I'm assuming it's about the same couple. This couple was weird, then they were creepy, and then they were just plain crazy. I was uncomfortable reading a lot of the story but I couldn't put it down. Uncomfortable because I thought the arrangement was ridiculous. I mean, who tries to fix their marriage by dating other people? But that was all just a set-up. A set-up that lead to dire consequences and so many lies and secrets revealed. But I'm not sure they were all revealed. Will have to see in the next book. Kiersten Modglin is a new-to-me thriller author who I am now hooked on and plan on reading more of her books.
