Why read it?

3 authors picked The Arrangement as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Ainsley and Peter are struggling, and they decide to try an open marriage. A risky proposition, given that neither trusts the other—and rightly so, the reader soon discovers. But when one of Ainsley's dates follows her home and Peter kills him, they are forced to co-operate so they can get away with the crime. Nothing like a joint project to rekindle the flames of passion!

This book is nearly perfect. Yes, there are a few twists which could have been foreshadowed better, but the wicked glee with which the author tells her story is contagious. I could practically hear her…

I love novels that delve into family relationships, and Modglin did that in spades. The first few chapters led me, unsuspecting, into the lives of the most unusual husband and wife I’ve ever met on the page. If I hadn’t read the description, I might have thought I was reading a relationship book by Elizabeth Berg or Anne Tyler. 

Was I in for a shock! The more I read, the more twisted the relationship became. This book literally took my breath away. I couldn’t turn pages fast enough! This novel is fascinating, fast-paced, and shockingly differentall the things…

Kiersten is a phenomenal author who is famously known for her countless twists and turns and for endings you never saw coming. I’ve loved every book I’ve read by her but a definite favourite is The Arrangement (the book that was never meant to be a trilogy until the world demanded more). 

From Céline's list on women in fiction taking center stage.
