Carol Keen's Reviews > The Agreement

Kate married Jake, and as part of that marriage, she signed an agreement. An agreement to not crowd him, not to do to him what she's been through in the past, or what he'd had with his ex-wife. It all sounded solid and like a good thing, but now, something has changed. He signed it too, and it's framed in their home, but what's happening with Jake? He's home late, he has reasons, but are they real? Is she losing her mind or is something actually off? Thus begins a very intricate and unusual story where we follow along with Kate trying to make heads or tails of her life and what's happening. During this part, I was frustrated, as there was a great deal of Kate thinking about if she is breaking the agreement and destroying her own life. Or if she is losing her mind, or not? if Jake is in danger, or has she been really, really had? When she finally starts to get to know his ex-es, things really pick up! There's a lot of small surprises and the villain is who I thought it was. I did have some questions that didn't get answered, but over all the suspense of the book keept me reading. This is not a short book, it's actually very long, but once Kate starts growing as a character, this story becomes much more interesting.
