Book Review of The Pact: A Love Story

The Pact: A Love Story

Helpful Score: 1


Another great novel by Picoult, who isn't afraid to tackle the tough "let's not talk about it" issues. I did not find even one paragraph of this book to be superfluous. Here are two contemporary families we learn to care about from the very first chapters.
She develops her characters so well...relationships between the spouses, adult friends, siblings, and teen "soulmates" evolve through her mastery of storytelling. This book is so much more than I can tell without giving away too much. Know that these people will touch you and stay with you long after you finish the last page. In this, as in life, all answers are not given, but there is joy and pain; love and heartbreak to share along the way.
