The Arrangement by Sarah Dunn
Suburban young couple, Lucy and Owen are looking to feel energized and happy in their relationship as well as bring back the butterflies, so their exciting but not so well thought-out solution was The Arrangement. An open marriage for six months; Break all the rules; Do what you want, with whomever you want. No discussing anything with each other. They wrote out a handful of rules and agreed to follow them. This could be just what they need, right?
The freedom is refreshing — no trapped feelings; a reason to get dolled up and a feeling of less responsibility. So Owen gets caught up with Izzy, a crazy woman who’s husband cheated on her. She regularly seduces him and then asks him to do annoying chores around her house and although the sex is good, he starts to wish he never agreed to get involved with her or the arrangement. On the other hand, Lucy finds Ben, a nice guy who she schedules a weekly rendezvous with and starts to develop feelings for. Thinking of Ben when she is not with him is nice, positive, and happy…the feeling of falling for someone. Then when she can’t make it to see him one day, she has this burning desire to talk on the phone and realizes this may not just be a sexual fling. With a child in the mix and the lies told to cover up what was agreed to be kept secret, Lucy and Owen’s relationship complications multiply, and here you have an experiment called, The Arrangement!
Sarah Dunn gives us an extremely humorous and well-written tale of a typical young couple in the suburbs trying to reignite the lost passion with an unconventional arrangement… a little sexy, a little daring a little disastrous and a hilarious and accurate depiction of marriage, family and community. So enjoyable and quick – you should not miss it!
