A suicide pact was supposed to keep them together, but a broken promise tore them apart

Allie is devastated when her older sister commits suicide - and not just because she misses her. Allie feels betrayed. The two made a pact that they'd always be together, in life, and in death, but Leah broke her promise and Allie needs to know why.



Her parents hover. Her friends try to support her. And Nick, sweet Nick, keeps calling and flirting. Their sympathy only intensifies her grief.



But the more she clings to Leah, the more secrets surface. Allie's not sure which is more distressing: discovering the truth behind her sister's death or facing her new reality without her.

Powerful. Emotional. Haunting. Beautifully written book about grief.



I didn’t know what to expect when I picked up the book, I haven’t read any books by STACIE RAMEY before. I was blown away, it was an emotional book to read, and at the same time you didn’t want to put it down. It did take me few pages to get into story, and once I did, I was hooked. There were times where it got hard for me to read THE SISTER PACT , and I had put it down. I wanted to wrap Allie in a hug and just hold her in my arms; I cannot imagine losing a sibling the way she lost Leah. My heart broke for Allie multiple times, and I found myself wishing that Allie was dreaming. Reading THE SISTER PACT , the emotions in the book, I felt them. I could feel Allie’s grief, heartbreak, confusion, anger. Even as I reached the ending of the book, I felt all of those emotions. THE SISTER PACT is a book where you should be prepared for your emotions being all over place, even as you finish the book. Despite being a hard subject to read about, a story that you won’t be able to forget. I knew it be hard book to read, but did not realize it how hard. It is one of the reasons that THE SISTER PACT felt so real.



Depression, Suicide, Drug use is something that a lot of people can relate to, and that is something that happens in real life. Depression is something I dealt with since I was teen, it might not got as bad as Leah’s, but I know how it feels like. I could relate how Leah felt like. I also had couple friends through years who attempted suicide, and that was as hard to me, so I could imagine how Allie was feeling. I felt that maybe it why I could relate to those characters more than any others that I read about. I am sure that I am not the only one. I was rooting for Allie, I was hoping for her to get better, but then how could you get over something so painful? But I was hoping that she would find a way. I hoped she would find a way to paint again. I was glad that her mom was there for her, even when she didn’t want her to. I had to force myself to put the book down and if it wasn’t for my hectic schedule this summer, I wouldn’t have. THE SISTER PACT was a breathtaking story. Not only the story, but did you see the cover? That was actually what caught my attention and I am glad that it did. I would highly recommend this book, but be prepared for emotional ride.
