It was pretty crazy with all the twists but I didn’t love it. It was a quick mindless read.

Kiersten Modglin’s The Arrangement masterfully explores the dark corners of marriage and the lengths two people will go to keep their secrets hidden. At first glance, the premise—a couple trying to salvage their relationship by striking a peculiar deal—seems like a straightforward domestic drama. Yet Modglin quickly proves there’s far more simmering beneath the surface.
Told in taut, shifting perspectives, the narrative keeps readers off-balance, questioning who to trust at every turn. What begins as a desperate attempt at marital repair spirals into a tangled web of lies and betrayals. Modglin’s clipped prose and brisk pacing create an undercurrent of tension that refuses to let up, propelling the story toward its inevitable, unsettling climax.
In a genre crowded with predictable tropes, The Arrangement stands out by cutting straight to the psychological heart of its characters. Their motives feel unsettlingly real, forcing readers to confront how thin the line can be between love and manipulation. Unsettling, addictive, and delightfully unpredictable, Modglin’s novel is a smart, chilling study of how easy it can be for even the closest bonds to twist—and break.
