The Arrangement

The Arrangement by Sarah Dunn is a smart and emotionally resonant novel about marriage, love, and the evolving expectations of modern relationships. When Lucy and Owen, a happily married couple, begin to feel the strain of routine and unspoken desires, they decide to make an unconventional choice—opening their marriage in an attempt to preserve it.

What begins as a practical agreement quickly grows complicated as both partners navigate jealousy, independence, and the realities of redefining commitment. As Lucy explores new possibilities, she’s forced to confront what she truly wants from love, partnership, and herself.

Witty, honest, and deeply introspective, The Arrangement examines the balance between freedom and fidelity, asking whether lasting love can survive when the rules are rewritten. It’s a compelling read for fans of contemporary fiction that thoughtfully explores relationships and personal growth.
