Courtesy of Teens Read Too
|
Chris and Emily have been good friends since they were born. Their parents have always been friends, and they were destined to become a couple once they entered their teenage years. They are always together and are seemingly very in love.
Until Emily ends up dead, and Chris was the only other person there when she died.
What happens? Will the kids that always seemed so happy rip these families apart? Did Chris really kill Emily? What really happened the night of her death?
Too much cannot be said without giving away the ending of the story. This is another book from Jodi Picoult that makes you think. There are a few predicable scenes, but still enough twists and turns to keep the reader interested. A good read for someone who is curious about how lives that seem so perfect can change so fast.

So Sad

I loved this book and could not put it down. At the heart of this story
was the sexual abuse of Emily in the mens washroom when she was very young.
Unfortunately she never told anyone so it finally destroyed her, also her
feelings towards Chris were mixed as they had grown up like brother and
sister.All the characters were so believable and their feelings so well
expressed by Ms.Picoult. I didn't want this book to end and held my breath
hoping for the best outcome and was not disappointed.

This is my first novel by Jodi and I am going back for more. I never cry in books but this one wins the contest. This was one of my all time favourites and I will be recommending to all my friends. You will not be disappointed!! The story is so believable and powerful.

I loved this book. This was my first Jodi Picoult novel & I am now going to continue on with her others. I am now starting MY SISTERS KEEPER & again this one is starting out real good. I love her writting style & her topics are attention grabbing. I am anxious to get to her other books.
This book (THE PACT) is a must read!!! Keep on writting Jodi.

The Pact
|

My friend was supposed to read this book for school, so I found it in his backpack while we were in Europe. For the next two days after, I read it all the time. No matter where we were. The bus, the lobby of the hotel waiting for everyone, lunch, etc. I sat up one night until 2:45 reading. I loved how it went from Past to Present. And the twist at the end, really makes it interesting.
