Hello bloggers!!! So, like I said in my first post, this blog is about two things, one of which is awesome books, so here is a really good book that is one of my personal favorites. I just finished reading it about two-three weeks ago. It is called The Pact: A Love Story by Jodi Picoult. For future reference, Jodi Picoult is the author of My Sister's Keeper, which I hear is also a really great book. This book was recommended to me by Kasey. She did a book talk for this novel, and her book talk was so good, I had to read it to find out the ending.
The book is about two families, the Hartes and the Golds. The Hartes and the Golds had met when the Golds moved and became neighbors with the Hartes. The parents became such great friends, and both women were even pregnant at the same time. Chris Harte was born first, and shortly after Emily Gold was born. The children became friends, and theirs parents hoped that once their children got older, they would date, and later on, marry. Things had been going great. They did start dating when they were just entering their teenage years, and they fell in love. So you would think that everything is alright between the two, until Emily ends up dead. Chris was with her when Emily was shot in the head. They say it is a suicide, but things start to change. Emily died of a bullet wound to the head, and Chris was a hunter who could shot a gun at ease, so people start to wonder, did Chris Harte kill Emily Gold? But why would he, after all, because they were in love. But did something push him too far? Did Emily shoot herself? Read the book to find out.
One of the things I really liked about this book was the flashbacks that took place. Throughout the novel, flashbacks occur and you get to see Emily and Chris when they were little kids, playing and having fun. The flashbacks continue, and you see them as teenagers and how they were doing then. I do notice know that each flashback becomes more depressing, because people start to become unhappy, but during this, the story gets extremely suspenseful. I honestly had trouble putting it down.
So who killed Emily Gold? That is for me to know, and for you to find out.
