A friend of mine let me borrow The Pact by Jodi Picoult and said it was a good read. A few months ago I had read My Sisters Keeper (also by Picoult) which I really enjoyed, so I was looking forward to reading this. I do have to say, the story started out slow. After some of the books I had recently read I was hesitant in continuing, but the story did quickly pick up. The book was good, but I didn't love it. I can't really explain why without giving too much away, but I'll just say I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.
