I finished reading "The Pact" by Jodi Picoult -- my 4th novel by her. I skimmed the back, the story sounded good, and I've loved all the other Picoult books I've read, so I bought it. Well then I got home and noticed on the front it said something about "the basis for the Lifetime TV movie." --- I about died!!
But I decided to read it anyway. It turned out to be fantastic. :)
The story goes -- boy and girl live next door their entire lives. They're best friends, and to their parents delight they eventually start dating. But, where the story starts is the cops find the 2 of them - Emily (the girl, obviously) dead and Chris (the boy) alive. Chris originally says it was suppose to be a double suicide.
It turns into not a "who done it" -- but just trying to figure out why Emily was suicidal, if Chris was and who pulled the trigger. It was such a page turner. I highly recommend it. Don't let the Lifetime TV movie fact scare you off.
Then I started to read "A Million Little Pieces" by James Fray -- but it was TERRIBLE. The story was ok, but the writing sucked. That man can not write to save his life. I quit after 50 pages. Highly not recommended.
So then I moved on to "Keeping Faith" by Jodi Picoult. :)

Thats great! I just read a book called "Naked"- a girl at work who I admire let me borrow it, it was really wierd- but very funny and good. What did you think of "Me Times Three"? Don't feel obligated to say you liked it!
I went late birthday present shopping for you at this really cool store and came out with nothing. Darn- I wanted to get you something great, but it may end up being a boring gift certificate! :(
