One of the things that struck me was the way it was expected that Chris and Emily would become sexually intimate - with hopes that they would eventually marry.
Yet Emily was clearly uncomfortable with this expectation - partly because of her earlier sexual abuse, and partly because of how she felt her sexual relationship with Chris was incestuous. The latter feeling apparently undid her when she became pregnant.
She had no one to talk to about this. Chris "loved" her and would be devastated if she told him she loved him as a sister but not as a potential wife. Her parents - and his - made it clear that they expected her to eventually marry Chris so she couldn't discuss her feelings with them either.
Her relationship with Chris was so close, she basically had no other close friends.
It seems to me that sexual relationships are emotionally dangerous for teens even without these particular circumstances and this book ought to give us all pause in encouraging teens to be active before they are truly emotionally ready.

"The Pact" Overview
For eighteen years the Hartes and the Golds have lived next door to each other, sharing everything from Chinese food to chicken pox to carpool duty. Parents and children alike are best friends - so it's no surprise that in high school Chris and Emily's friendship blossoms into something more. They've been soul mates since they were born. When the midnight calls come in from the hospital, no one is prepared for the appalling truth: Emily is dead at seventeen from a gunshot wound to the head as part of an apparent suicide pact. The gun holds a single unspent bullet that Chris tells police he intended for himself, but a local detective has doubts. And the Hartes and Golds, in a single terrifying moment, must face every parent's worst fear: do we ever really know our children at all?
