Written by Jodi Picoult, author of the International bestseller, My Sister's Keeper, comes a new novel exposing aspects of love, soul mates and murder. Here is the blurb for your interest:For eighteen years the Hartes and the Golds have lived next door to each other...they've grown so close it seems they have always been a part of each other's lives. Parents and children alike have been best friends so it's no surprise that in high school, Chris and Emily's friendship blossoms into something more. After all, they've been soul mates since they were born.
So when midnight calls from the hospital come in, no one is ready for the appalling truth: Emily is dead at seventeen from a gunshot wound to the head. There's a single unspent bullet in the gun that Christ took from his father's cabinet- a bullet that Christ tells police he intended for himself. But a local detective has doubts about the suicide pact that Chris has described.
The profound questions faced by the characters in this heart-rending novel are those we can all relate to: how well do we ever really know our children or our friends? What if...? As its chapters unfold, alternating between an idyllic past and an unthinkable present, The Pact paints an indelible portrait of families in anguish, culminating in an astonishingly suspenseful courtroom drama as Chris finds himself on trial for murder.
Sounds very juicy and I cannot wait to start reading. Enjoy!
