The Summer Pact
by Emily Giffin
Warning: this book may be a trigger for people due to several of its themes, particularly suicide.
After the suicide of one of their best college friends, three friends, Lainey, Hannah, and Tyson, draw up a pact to promise that no matter how dark things may seem to them, they will contact each other. Years later, when Hannah walks in on her fiancé in bed with another woman, she calls her best friends, and they drop everything and come. What comes next is an extended road trip while they discover what they really mean to each other and who they really are.
This is not my favorite Emily Griffin book at all and I found it a bit of a slog to get through. Sometimes I was confused by the shift in POV of the three characters (who seemed rather similar) and I thought it was kind of unlikely that a pact made in college would make people years later disrupt their real lives. But of course, it’s fiction!
Many thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for an ARC of this novel. My opinion is my own.
