My mother has been telling me I should read The Pact for just under 2 years now and for some reason I have just never wanted to. I have tried 3 times in the past and never got passed the first scene of the four parents sitting in the Chinese restaurant. It just never grabbed my attention, but to be fare I will admit, that I don't think I ever gave the book a chance. But I'm glad I did. The Pact is an amazing, tragic love story. It brings together the bond that a mother has for their child, the strength of a suicide pact and also the love in which the two main characters, Chris and Emily, had for each other at such a young age. I don't want to give away the story line to much because I want you all to read it and not know the ending as the ending is truly a remarkable illustration of how much love they had for each other and how if one died the other could just simply not live, or not want to live on. Some may say that its ridiculous, that you can't not live just because one person has died or left you, but I do believe in true love and I do believe that their is one person out in the world for each and everyone of us and I believe that Chris was that person for Emily and Emily was that person for Chris.
I urged each and everyone of you (whoever sees this post) to read The Pact by Jodi Picoult. If not now, then before the Summer and Winter ends, where ever in the world you are. Now that I've successfully finished The Pact I might continue on to read Nineteen Minutes, or Keeping Faith, or Picture Perfect all novels written by Jodi Picoult. And don't worry, after each book I have written I will post a review of each of them to let you know my opinion and whether or not it's a great read.
If you have an books you'd like me to read and then I can post a review, don't be afraid to ask, I'd be more than happy to :)
Hope you have a magnificent day/night.
