"Want to indulge in juicy, page-turning escapism?
The Summer Pact is about a group of friends . . . [and] a reunion tour, a decade after college, inspired by a long-ago promise to turn to one another in times of need. [They] take turns narrating their trip to the Italian island of Capri, where closure may or may not await."
--The New York Times "If you need a break from love and crime stories, try
The Summer Pact, a novel about friendship. . . . Grief and redemption are big themes of this book. It's not lighthearted reading, exactly, but it is deeply heartfelt."
--Harper's Bazaar "I am a huge fan and so excited to read Emily's new novel!"
--Britney Spears (People) "If Giffin is writing it, I'm going to be reading it."
--Marie Claire "A tender, heartfelt journey . . . Great writing is great storytelling--and that is what Emily Giffin does time and time again."
--Woman's World "In a story about friendship, grief, love and connection, Emily Giffin delivers another unforgettable tale."
--SheKnows "Giffin is at her best when she's delving into the hard and sometimes outwardly questionable choices that her characters make in their pursuit of happiness, and her latest harks back to her bold, layered debut,
Something Borrowed (2004). This thirtysomething coming-into-one's-own tale feels true to life, messy in all the best ways, and hopeful. A triumph."
--Booklist (starred review)
