The Marriage Act: The unmissable speculative thriller from the author of The One

Product Information

the realistic dystopian near-future that he is always able to create is so unsettling and fascinating, all at the same time. the societal and technological changes are so subtle (so much so that i would be totally fine removing the sci-fi label from his stories), but the impact of them is massively compelling. and i think thats what makes his stories so readable. its a very convincing glimpse into the next decade. Britain, future times. Couples agree to the Smart Marriage, where they are monitored from time to time. If their marriage is in trouble, a relationship responder will come in and help iron out the issues. If they can't, then they may separate. Except not everyone is playing by the rules and disharmony in a marriage can lead to more than separation.

I’m thinking one particular person in this book who really was so stupidly deranged I kept raising my eyes to the ceiling saying “come on already”)I think from my POV because I’d read The Marriage Pact by Michelle Richmond this theme was sort of explored before, like I say, not exactly, but similar. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers and Beach Read comes a sparkling novel that will leave you with the warm, hazy afterglow usually reserved for the best vacations. If anyones read this book The marriage act by John Marrs and The Marriage pact by Michelle Richmond, please let me know your thoughts and it’s not just me? Arthur's perspective was very sad, Corinne's made my blood boil, I felt sympathy for Anthony, and Jeffrey was... is it okay to say fun?

In 'The Minders' (Berkley, Feb.), Marrs envisions a future in which advances in DNA technology enable massive amounts of data to be stored in people’s brains.The One has been translated into 30 different languages and is to be turned into an eight-part Netflix series starting in autumn 2020. The near-future. A right-wing government believes it has the answer to society’s ills – the Sanctity of Marriage Act, which actively encourages marriage as the norm, punishing those who choose to remain single.

Overall, another immersive well written and well thought out novel that is thought provoking as well as entertaining. Truthfully I really didn't give two rats asses about any of characters. I found myself annoyed by their selfishness. Corrine was a massive hypocrite who embodied: "how dare I face the consequences of my own actions." Noah should've been single, forever. Jeffrey and Roxi needed in-patient psychiatric care. Owen and Luca were inconsequential. Mitchell was a Disney villain (I literally pictured Elon Musk at times). Oh yeah, forgot about Arthur. He was a blend between inconsequential but also needing therapy. I find Marrs' near future sci-fi thrillers so addictive. Highly implausible, but impossible to put down. this was a different kind of amazing but I liked The One better, just the characters and how the story was woven 🤌🏼The story in The Marriage Act revolves around a couple of people who give the reader a look into how the world has changed. It's not only the marriage as such, it is also the laws that dictate how and where you can live, and if the marriage fails, what the consequences are. The first year is when some of us lose our lives. The second year is when the rest of us lose our humanity.”—Xaden Riorson I guess everyone searches for the perfect mate, the perfect, partner one who would compliment you in everyday life. A smart, gripping and scarily believable story from the master of the speculative thriller.”—TM Logan, author of The Curfew and The Holiday Reading Paulette Jiles' revenge western Chenneville, it's easy to remember she's a poet.
