Emily Giffin's The Summer Pact is a captivating novel that delves into the complexities of friendship, love, and betrayal. The story revolves around three college friends, Sloane, Carter, and Ben, who reunite after twenty years. As they reconnect, old secrets resurface, and new tensions arise, threatening to unravel their carefully constructed lives.

A departure from Giffin's usual chick-lit, romantic comedies, the exploration of themes such as forgiveness, loyalty, and the enduring power of friendship elevate the novel. 

Highly recommend it to anyone seeking a compelling, emotional and thought provoking story.
