Sinossi
Fino a quella telefonata alle tre del mattino di una giornata di novembre, i Gold e i loro vicini di casa, gli Harte, sono sempre stati inseparabili. Per ben diciotto anni. Non è stata una sorpresa per nessuno, dunque, quando i loro figli adolescenti, Chris ed Emily, da semplici amici sono diventati qualcosa di più. Ma adesso la diciassettenne Emily è morta - uccisa da un colpo di pistola alla testa sparatole da Chris, in un apparente patto suicida lasciando le due famiglie devastate e alla disperata ricerca di risposte su un gesto inimmaginabile, di due figli che forse non conoscevano bene come credevano. È rimasta una sola pallottola nella pistola che Chris ha preso dall'armadio del padre, una pallottola che secondo la sua versione era destinata a se stesso. Cos'è successo veramente? Un detective della polizia del luogo nutre più di un dubbio sul patto suicida descritto dal ragazzo e inizia un'indagine.

Recensioni
I am probably the only person in the world who HATED this book with such a white hot hate that you almost wonder if it was just the opposite.

Why do so many people seem to love/adore Jodi Picoult novels? I gave her a try with My Sister's Keeper and admittedly, I didn't hate it, although I did take issue with the plot.

I liked this better than My Sister's Keeper as a whole, although I have some of the same complaints about it. This author is a master of making you believe in a story that makes exactly no sense and making you care about characters who behave like exceptional idiots*. If I thought about any of it fo Leggi tutto
I'm never quite sure how to classify Picoults 'dilemma dramas' but they always pack a punch, and her writing and storytelling enhance what she does. Today's dilemma of the day - two young people in love agree a suicide pact... but one survives and his liable to be charged with murder! Don't you just Leggi tutto
Jodi Picoult does an incredible job of hooking me in the first chapter. The Pact is about a boy and girl whose families are neighbors. Chris and Emily have known each other since they were three months old. They are inseparable and begin dating. They are both rushed to the hospital. Was it a suicide Leggi tutto
This is the first Jodi Picoult book that I have read. I admit that she is a good writer and I found myself unable to put the book down; however, I felt that there was a lot lacking to make this a solid GOOD book. In my opinion, though this book was supposed to be a drama/love story, it severely lack Leggi tutto
