The Pact by Jodi Picoult

I am getting pretty far into the book and its so good. I dont wan't to give too much away so I will leave it at this-WOW. Finding out all about the past is mind boggling. The book is now in the past, way before the car accident and it brings us back to how each mothers gave birth. The stories sound so happy, which makes me wonder, how could this possibly be a sad book? My prediction of the pact being that they both kill each other was right-now we are just finding out why. Melanie and James have Christopher, so they decide to get a dog. The dog is named Charlie, and since the dog got sick they had Michael check him out. The decision to just let him die naturally sounded just fine. When I read how Charlie really cried, I completely broke down. With out ruining what happened, I will tell you this much-the way he dies is the most unethical and upsetting thing a human could ever do. The actions of James causes Melanie to get so upset so she leaves him and brings Christopher with her. How could you separate your new son from his dad so early on? Are they ever going to get back together? The actions of Michael upset me so much. If I could meet him in person I would get so angered I would have to walk away. I don't know why he is acting so weird, because he seemed like such a great guy at the beginning of the book. Can't wait to keep you all updated as I get further on in the book, its getting more and more intense as I go on!
