The Arrangement by Sarah Dunn
3.0
What happens when a marriage goes stale?
Owen and Lucy's story was completely relatable and I absolutely loved it. They are trying to save their marriage... they love each other, they want to raise their son together, and they want to remain partners in life forever, but their intimate life is undesirable. So together they agree on "The Arrangement" where they get 6 months to have meaningless sex with anyone they want, no questions asked.
I know I'm a minority with this one... I really enjoyed Lucy and Owens story and it was indeed funny (can I just say chickens in church, anyone?!?! 😂) However, there were a couple of things that got me down. First, I really struggled with all of the other stories that are interwoven in the book from other people that were connected to Owen and Lucy. I found it boring and I didn't like any of the other characters so I had no connection to their successes or failures. Second, I felt like the ending was really rushed. Had this book been just about Owen and Lucy, I would have liked it a lot more.
