Book Review: The Pact

"I love you," he whispered, and that was the moment he knew what he was going to do. When you loved someone, you put their needs before your own. No matter how inconceivable those needs were; no matter how much it made you feel like you were ripping yourself into pieces."

This book was well written, smart, intriguing, and I hated it.

It was about a suicide pact gone awry. One dead, one in prison for murder. Two families ripped apart.

Don't read it.

I read My Sister's Keeper by the same author. (The book ends WAY different than the movie). I hated it too. It left me empty and sad and I also was so disappointed in some of the language used to portray anger and frustration. Some authors could use a good slap up side of the head...

Yeah Georgia I remember hearing that MSK was completely different. I guess she just has to write depressing books. I figure that if a book is going to be sad it had better have a life changing moral that also lifts you up like The Kite Runner.

Well, it must be good because it was made into a lifetime original movie. Proof.
