The Pact Part 2 By Jodi Picoult

I recently finished reading "The Pact" by Jodi Picoult. Look to finda better summary in my last post. But it's mainly about a boy and a girl who are childhood friends who become lovers. One night she gets killed and he claims it's a double suicide but there is some evidence he might have killed her. In the end as I recently just found out was that she really wanted to kill herself and sort of forced him into helping her do it, and then they both ended up killing her his hand over hers on the gun. This book was really intense but it was amazing and one of my favorite books of hers.

Chris the main character boy, ends up actually being found innocent and gets let out of jail. After the jury hears the whole dramatic thing and even Chris gets up on the stand they conclude he's innocent. In a way I'm sort of glad he is. After hearing the real story from Chris's eyes I know( as the reader) that this was really Emily's fault. He did everything that he could to try to stop her and she made him swear he wouldn't tell anyone. How you could betray the person you loved most in the world by telling? In the end she ends up killing himself with his help. I think that Chris really really loved Emily more then anything more then life itself and would have done anything for her, and he proved that to us. In my opinion it's a good thing that he's innocent because he doesn't deserve to go to prison for the rest of his life.

On the other hand what must it look like to Emily's parents? Emily's mother already became cold and sad and furious and her best friend -Chris's mother. She didn't even know yet if Chris actually did it. Now knowing this new information I bet she will never talk to her friend ever again after this. I mean how could you blame her? As the reader I have seen it from both perspectives -Chris's parents and Emily's parents. It's hard to think what you would do if your best friends child killed yours? Although Emily's parents don't know the whole story and they are in denial about the fact that their daughter was suicidal.

This book was so intense and had so many layers to it. It was extremely powerful and sad. I couldn't put this book down you really should read it. It was amazing.
