The Pact by Jodi Picoult

This is a heart-wrenching story of teenage love, suicide and betrayal, dealing with every parent’s greatest fear: the death of their child. When 17-year-old Emily is found dead with a gunshot wound to her head, her life-long boyfriend Chris is fingered for her murder. He insists it was a suicide pact gone wrong, but the police don’t believe him and he is put on trial for murder.

Picoult takes the reader on an emotionally charged journey in the psychological drama as both families are forced to question how well they know – or knew – their children. This is an intense read that takes a hard look at feelings such as guilt, trust, honesty and blame and how each of us deals with emotion in a different way. (Review by Amy Henderson)
