Another perfect Emily Giffin. When a quartet of best friends becomes a trio, they make a pact to always be there if they need one another. When one’s life falls apart, the other two answer the call, and surprise, their lives could use a little work too. With a lush backdrop, and some truly messy dramas, this was a page turner. Trigger warning for suicide!

Another stunning, emotional, stellar novel from the incomparable Emily Griffin, this is her at her very best. Four girls from across the country meet in college and become best friends until one day the unthinkable happens, and those four girls make a pact and a bond that is thicker and stronger than anything they could ever have imagined. Ten years later they reunite when one of the four calls on them to remember their promise. Why? You will have to read and see, and you will not be sorry you did. I couldn't put it down and kept turning the pages late into the night. This is strong sisterhood at its finest, that assurance that you will always have someone to turn to and rely on in your darkest moments. I loved this novel, and although I have enjoyed every book Ms. Griffin has written, this one affected me the most and pulled me in from page one. Highly recommended!!!

Emily Giffin has done it again! I have been such a fan of her writing for many years and I absolutely loved this one! It was unique, different, and I loved the dynamic between all the friends over the course of their many years of friendship. I have so much more to add to this review I am preparing and will be updating my thoughts very soon! Perfect book for the upcoming summer for book club or to take to the beach!

I am a fan of all Emily Giffin books and this one was no exception. I smiled, I laughed, andI teared up as well. It had all the feels.

The Summer Pact by Emily Giffin is a compelling story of friendship, loss, and redemption. The story follows four college friends from different backgrounds who form a deep bond that is tested by tragedy. The characters are well developed and relatable, each facing their own struggles and insecurities. The author’s writing is poignant and heartfelt, drawing the reader into the lives of these friends as they navigate the challenges of adulthood. The novel explores themes of grief and love, along with the power of friendship to heal old wounds.
