Book Review: The Break-Up Pact by Emma Lord

THE BREAK-UP PACT

Emma Lord

Cute and quick, like a fleeting spring morning, I had a fun time reading THE BREAK-UP PACT by Emma Lord earlier this year.

THE BREAK_UP PACT stars June and Levi. He is a failed novelist, and she owns a flailing local tea shop. He has been seen from time to time writing the next great American novel in her corner booth.

They were friends a long time ago. They haven’t spoken in some time but with hilarity, they both go through very public break-ups at the same time. On the rebound and hoping to get his girl back he convinces June to play along with a “get her back” scheme that involves a little fake dating, a few well-timed photo opportunities, and

June agrees to the pact but that’s about it. They can’t seem to agree on anything except that they will break up in the end. She doesn’t know that her feelings will change, and he doesn’t know how to write the ending to his own love story.

Will they figure it out before their respective exes realize what they’ve lost? Or will their status stay stuck on “FRIENDS FOREVER?”

This is my first time reading Emma Lord and I’m glad I started with this one. THE BREAK-UP PACT had just the right amount of lightness and tenderness and I had a lot of fun reading it. The characters were personable, and I enjoyed reading as their platonic relationship blossomed into something closer to love.

Good characters, good times, what’s not to love about Emma Lord's latest romantic comedy, THE BREAK-UP PACT.
