The pact by Jodi Picoult

This book just keeps getting more and more intense. The conclusions made by Chris's mother is so surprising that she wants to get a lawyer. I find that hard to believe because for all other tough decisions she's the one that stands up for things. If she knew that deep down Chris didn't truly murder Emily then why would she want to get him a lawyer...just incase? As the story has been unraveling more and more, Gus's odd nightmares are continuing. I find it so strange and weird that she is having nightmares about her son getting kidnapped-while she is with him. At the end of one of the descriptions of the dream she makes an amazing discovery which gave me the chills. One of dreams, they are able to escape and she saves Chris. This is clearly a flashback-but she realizes that the reason they get out is because Jamie was in the passanger seat all along. When I read that it made me so insanely happy. I actually got the chills. It was so empowering and made me realize that even when you least expect it or even know it, the people who care the most are always there with you. I can't wait to get into the core of the book. Keep you updated!
