What a wild premise! I had to laugh; sounds like Seinfeld to me — an open marriage to save the marriage, ha! Gosh loved that episode with Jerry & Elaine back when they were dating (one of the top 5 episodes of all Time!) where staying the night is an option; and calling the day afterwards is so too. Some funny stuff in that episode that kills me every time. Glad Dunn has a sense of humor.

In reply to Tara. It's a light read. Nowhere near as good as Happiness, but entertaining.

In reply to Susie | Novel Visits. I think it's one that will either work for you or not. It was entertaining because she seemed to real get marriage, but some parts got silly.

In reply to Kate @ booksaremyfavouriteandbest. It's a good not great read. I like her tone so that kept me going when the subplot got a bit much.

In reply to Sarah's Book Shelves. It's not much more than that. Some points got silly, but then she'd get something right so I kept reading. Good not great.

I was feeling a little wary of this one, following some comments that Sarah made earlier; like you, I loved Secrets to Happiness, so I’ll likely give this one a try. Thanks for sharing this great review; sounds like a good weekend read. I love reading about others’ dysfunction – ha!

The Arrangement sounds like a perfect summer “beach read” to me!

I like the quotes you’ve chosen.

I keep seeing this book around and, although it seems to be getting mixed reviews, it sounds like the kind of thing I’d like.

So I’m still on the fence about this one. I started it, but then didn’t make it very far. All the banter annoyed me. Though there were some observations that were spot-on. Waffling with whether to go back to it. Might if I’m short on light, fun books for my Summer Reading Guide.
