ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Pact" by Jodi Picoult explores the aftermath of a tragic event when a teenage girl dies from a gunshot wound, and her boyfriend is the prime suspect. The story revolves around the ensuing trial and the various perspectives on whether her death was a murder or a suicide pact gone wrong. The narrative delves into the complexities of relationships, the subjective nature of truth, and the impact of trauma on families. It examines how personal biases and emotional states influence perceptions and judgments, questioning whether justice is truly attainable when people are dealing with grief and uncertainty. The book highlights how interpretations of the same events can vary wildly, leading to questions about the reliability of the justice system.
