The Sister Pact [Paperback]

<p><em>Who holds your secrets?</em></p><p>Allie is devastated when her sister commits suicide-and it's 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. </p><p>Her parents hover. Her friends try to support her. And Nick, sweet Nick, keeps calling and flirting. Their sympathy only intensifies her grief. </p><p>But the more she clings to Leah, the more secrets surface. Allie's not sure which is more distressing: discovering the truth behind her sister's death or facing her new reality without her.</p>"A well-written portrait, not just of grief but also of the pain of realizing you didn't really know someone you thought you were close to. Ramey's haunting novel is reminiscent of Jennifer Brown's Hate List (2009), with similar themes of devastating hindsight, and Gayle<br>Forman's I Was Here (2015), which also captures the desperation to make sense of a loved one's suicide... A heavy but powerful read that tackles big topics without letting them drag the narrative down." - <strong><em>Booklist</em></strong>"A powerful story of redemption, forgiveness, love, and the ability to persevere." - <strong><em>VOYA Magazine</em></strong>"The story reads like Go Ask Alice...As Allie learns the many sordid secrets of her sister's concealed life, she begins to understand the powerful influence her sister had on her and, a talented painter, struggles to find her own voice.
