What Amazon Has to Say:
Britain. 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. But four couples are about th doscover just how impossible relationships can be wen the government is supervising every aspect of our personal lives, monitoring every word, every minor disagreement - and will use every tool in its arsenal to ensure everyone will love, honour, and obey.
This was a pretty good book. I listened to it, and it passed the time. I have read a lot of Marrs books, and I like his dystopian take. There is a bit of reality mixed in with an alternate universe that doesn't seem all that unlikely. I think there was overall good character development, and a few twists in the book that I didn't see coming which was nice. It even wraps up nicely. I THINK this might be a bit of a sequel to "The One" - which I have not read yet, but it is a netflix show I have watched.
