The Arrangement 1 by Abby Weeks

4.0

Weeks had me on the edge of my seat as I alternated between feelings of fear and excitement for April. From the beginning I felt a sense of fear, uncertainty, and trepidation. As soon as I expected something awful to happen, something positive would happen instead. However, the positives were too good to be true, and you know what they say about things that are too good to be true...

From the beginning, you wonder if her husband is abusive from the way she responds to him. As the story progresses, his demeanor fluctuates and her responses change. April's husband becomes a partner and suddenly their life completely changes. Suddenly they are both on a power trip. The partner's are very interested in April, and we know something is going to happen there, as well as suspect things are happening with April's husband and the partner's wives.

The ending was abrupt, not in a bad way, but in an "I want more!" way. What happens with her kids being sent off to boarding school? What happens with the partners and April? What role do the other wives play? How does April's life change now? 100 pages went too quickly! Must read part 2!!!!
