Freya has always wanted to work in the area of coding and finally she lands a job with a firm called Atypical.
She even has a new boyfriend called Jay.
Life is fantastic but for a bully called Nicole.
She belittles Freya whenever she can until one night she snaps and along with Jay they play a trick on Nicole but there are consequences.
The very same night Nicole is found dead, murdered.
Could what they did have had any bearing on what happened?

Overall, I would say that whilst I had issues with the structure and believability of this book, The Pact is an enjoyable and quick read if you are looking for something young, snappy and challenging of negative social norms. There are some loveable characters and some sweet moments, as well as some very painful and challenging scenes, which effectively highlight some of the things that have gone so wrong in our modern culture.

A new book and some ☀️

Freya works as a coder and she has just landed her dream job working for a company called Atypical.
She loves the work but is being bullied by a girl called Nicole.
But when her new boyfriend Jay helps her to pull a prank on Nicole things go wrong and the next thing they know she is brutally murdered.
Who did it? Why? Is it someone else they know at work who was also a bullying victim or is it due to what they did that caused all this?

Told in chapters set in the past and present, and from Freya‘s and the journalist‘s, Isla‘s perspectives, showing how events built and how Freya‘s health suffered due to the constant stress at work and the investigation into Nicole‘s death. A tale of bullying and sexual harassment in the workplace. Tense, twisty and with some real surprises in this gripping psychological thriller.
