They've got a two hundred year-old house, an autistic son obsessed with the Titanic, and 17 chickens, at last count. \u003cbr\u003e It's the kind of paradise where stay-at-home moms team up to cook the school's \"hot lunch,\" dads grill grass-fed burgers, and, as Lucy observes, \"chopping kale has become a certain kind of American housewife's version of chopping wood.\" When friends at a wine-soaked dinner party reveal they've made their marriage open, sensible Lucy balks. \u003cbr\u003e There's a part of her, though-the part that worries she's become too comfortable being invisible -- that's intrigued. Why not try a short marital experiment? Six months, clear ground rules, zero questions asked. When an affair with a man in the city begins to seem more enticing than the happily-ever-after she's known for the past nine years, Lucy must decide what truly makes her happy: \"real life,\" or the \"experiment?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRomance\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eRomantic Comedy\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Back Bay Books","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":46670669119678,"sku":"0316013617-3","price":15.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/71vUFwiCybL.jpg?v=1776880386","url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/products\/0316013617-the_arrangement_a_novel","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
