The Pact by Jodi Picoult

The profound questions faced by the characters in this heart-rending novel are those we can all relate to: How well do we ever really know our children, our friends? What if…? As its chapters unfold, alternating between an idyllic past and an unthinkable present, The Pact paints an indelible portrait of families in anguish… culminating in an astonishingly suspenseful courtroom drama as Chris finds himself on trial for murder. But a local detective has doubts about the suicide pact that Chris has described. There's a single unspent bullet in the gun that Chris took from his father's cabinet- a bullet that Chris tells police he intended for himself. So when midnight calls from the hospital come in, no one is ready for the appalling truth: Emily is dead at seventeen from a gunshot wound to the head. They've been soul mates since they were born. Parents and children alike have been best friends, so it's no surprise that in high school Chris and Emily's friendship blossoms into something more. For eighteen years the Hartes and the Golds have lived next door to each other, sharing everything from Chinese food to chicken pox to carpool duty- they've grown so close it seems they have always been a part of each other's lives.
