As I continue to read The Pact by Jodi Picoult the story line picks up and there are hints of foreshadowing that Chris is not telling the complete truth. Jodi Picoults writing style is every chapter is kind of in a different setting and narrated by a different character. She jumps around alot from the present to the past and i have to pay close attention in order to keep up with her confusing writing style.
I believe the way she writes is effective because it keeps me interested in the book but it does get a little confusing at times when i dont know necessarily if its in the past or present. The main way to tell is if Emilys alive. Since the begining of the book started out with her dying its easier to tell if its present or past based off of whether she is living or not. Jodi Picoult also uses vivid imagery and a tone that helps me connect into the book.
Her writing style helps add emphasize into the novel. I am really enjoying the book so far and the characters are different and interesting in their own ways. Chris cares so much about Emily and Emily cares about him but Emily is having severe suicidal thoughts and Chris seems like he just wants to prevent her from killing herself more than anything but you can tell he wants Emily to be happy.
