This book, oh gosh, this book! Firstly, we have an incredibly funny and endearing protagonist. Bee stole my heart from the first page, and if she were a real person, I’d want to be her best friend. Secondly, the male main character is so swoon-worthy in the most unexpected ways. When he finally comes around to confess his love for Bee, he doesn’t even know he’s confessing to her!

And if those two points aren’t enough, there’s some miscommunication, some mistaken identity, a plot that’ll have you turning the page, and side characters that’ll keep you laughing so much that…

Scientist Levi Ward, in this enemies-to-lovers trope set in the world of science, is a compelling character.

With startling green eyes that I felt myself drowning in, a strong work ethic, and always determined to do what’s right, I found myself suddenly wishing I’d stuck with studying science at school. It would’ve helped if I’d been any good at science, though.

I wanted to know the answers. I’m still searching.

What is my book about?

The Pact is a contemporary fiction novel about Australian sisters, Samantha and Annie, who are doubles tennis champions. This story amplifies the usual sibling issues and explores their professional partnership and personal relationships – similarities, differences, motivation, competition, abandonment, and grief – and how they each respond to the stress of constantly being under the media spotlight.

What happens when, at the pinnacle of fame, it all falls apart?

With dreams shattered and egos destroyed, how do they cope?

I have an older sister and although our rapport isn’t as dramatic, or as close, for that matter, I was able…
