Jodi Picoult's Book "The Pact: a love story"?

wow. i just finished this book, and i Absolutely adored it. i understand the pain emily was going through (even though ive never experienced anything like she has). I understood how she loved chris, not in a pionate romantic way like he loved her. That's why having the baby scared her so much, she didn't want to marry chris. She loved him Absolutely, more then a brother but less then a romance. It was true love she had for him but not in the same way that chris loved her. That's why was also hard for emily (aside from the fact that she was molested). But that brings up another interesting thing that i noticed, chris brought a LOT of pain into Emily's life (not any where as near as how much love) but still a lot of pain was there. The sympathy pain that emily felt whenever chris hurt, chris's dare was the reason she was molested, chris was the reason she broke her leg, and chris was the reason that she committed suicide, because of his baby. Chris never understood that and im glad he didn't because it would've made him hurt even more. What were some of your thoughts on the book? i also found myself almost hating the character of Melanie Gold. I know it was unbearably hard to lose a child but turning on your best friend? and someone who is like a son to you? but i also found myself disliking emily at times, i believe she did commit suicide, chris did not kill her, even though he had to pull the trigger. It was like half of chris died when emily did because as it was mentioned so many times before emily and chris were two parts of the same whole. ya so anyway just leave a response, tell me how u felt about the book. it really interested me.
