The Sister Pact by Stacie Ramey

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 secretes surface. Allie's not sure which is more distressing: discovering the truth behind her sister's death or facing her new reality without her. @goodreads


MY REVIEW:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1338668579

When I first started reading this book I couldn't put it down. The book is about Allie and Leah, sisters... but Leah committed suicide. She had a pact with Allie that if they were ever going to do something like that, they would go together....but Leah went....alone..

Like I said, when I first started to read the book I couldn't put it down, but then I started to get frustrated and irritated at the way Allie was acting. This is where my own mental and medical issues pushes all of that aside and I open my mind to what other people would do, how they would act, how they could get on your nerves. No one acts the same way. People do so many stupid things. People hate you. People love you. People DON'T understand you.

Allie is going through so much sadness over her sister's suicide that she is making decisions that are not good for her. She has friends, or what she thinks of as friends. There is Max, he's a big jerk. Emery, who you find out later is a big jerk. It almost seems you can't rely on anyone in the world any more.

Her mom is addicted to pills and has issues of her own, her dad is a jerk that left them all for another woman.

Allie finds solace in a nice guy named Nick. Allie is an artist and she finds out Nick is an artist as well and they have an art class together when she goes back to school. She also finds a good friend in the so called "bad boy" John Strickland. He is bad when he first comes into the scene with drugs etc. But she finds out all the answers she needs about her sister through John. She had no clue at all. And it is so very, very sad.

There are a lot of trials Allie has to go through in the book, but at the end so many good things just fall into place. I was so happy for her and I really loved this book. And like I say in books I read like this, so many things like this happen in the real world. I wish people would just listen a little more...watch a little more... care a little more.


**I would like to thank NETGALLEY and SOURCEBOOKS for the opportunity to read an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.**
