the pact ~ a review

alert : this post contains an individual perception towards a thing and please be reminded that human perceptions differ among one another

have you ever loved someone so much that murder can be a favour?

i took +/- 3 days to complete reading this novel

*with all the classes and what not*

if i were to be asked for one word to this describe this novel

it will be "heart-wrenching"

the pact was a novel of a love story

but not a typical one

somehow, reading the novel left a deep marks in my heart on how strong and crazy love can be

before this

i've never read a novel

and later cried myself to sleep

with this one

it happened

the love chris had for emily was so strong that nothing can stop him from fulfilling his girlfriend wish

even if it meant killing her

because seeing emily in pain left chris in the same situation

he just couldnt help seeing his girlfriend hurt so much that he agreed to help her pull the trigger

but i was so much hurt on how emily decided on things

she was as though claiming that killing herself was far more important than her love for chris

she was so indulged in her own pain that she missed out what her actions would do to everyone around her particularly chris

but what can we say abour that

she's suicidal afterall

i loved how the writer arranged the plot in this novel

the "now and then" way of telling stories let us learn how relationship between chris and emily grew

there's only one thing that left me a bit unsatisfied

at the end, no one really know how emily had become so suicidal

*except the readers*

not even chris

short synopsis :

emily and chris had known each other for a lifetime

their family were neighbours and they had been inseparable until the phone calls came at 3am on a november morning

17 years old emily was shot in the head

and chris fingerprints were all over the gun

with one daughter dead

and another son charged on the count of murder

the dark journey of knowing the truth bagins
