About this listen

In the neon glow of 90s Kamloops, what happened in 'The Loops' was meant to stay there—forever, or so blonde, curvy, college kid, Jesse Digger thought. For years, she and her redheaded bestie, Jaime Frame, lived by that unspoken rule, their wild adventures and youthful missteps bound by the sacred "Pinky Swear." But when her best friend dies suddenly and tragically, Jesse's world is upended.

Plunged into a whirlwind of grief and unanswered questions, Jesse is forced to confront the truths she’s spent years burying beneath late-night laughter and hazy memories of her 20s. Through a series of flashbacks to the hedonistic, vibrant 1990s in the heart of Kamloops, British Columbia—“The Loops”—she pieces together the fractured puzzle of their past.

As Jesse untangles the chains of secrecy that once held her and her friend together, she discovers the weight those promises carried—and the toll they exacted. Along the way, she redefines what it means to be a hot, single, unapologetic Canadian woman of the ‘90s, embracing a new vision of friendship, freedom, and self-acceptance.

Pinky Swear is a raw, compelling exploration of friendship, loss, and the courage it takes to reclaim your truth. Perfect for fans of Daisy Jones & The Six and Wild, this novel will stay with you long after the final words.

Dare to break the silence. Dare to remember. Dare to make a new promise—to yourself.

As a Canadian, I love stories set in Canada - especially smaller places that are not Vancouver or Toronto. I enjoyed the setting for this book and the Canadian-isms a lot.

As someone who went through uni in the 90s, this boo hit home on a lot of levels for me. I too did many of the crazy things these girls did and I am grateful no one filmed it. I too thought I had friend who would be with me forever at that stage.

I was expecting some deep dark reveal at the end as to why her friend did what she did but it was only stories of their party days in Kamloops. I would have preferred to have more substance in these girls, although I do know that I was not that deep and meaningful when I was that age. "As Jesse untangles the chains of secrecy that once held her and her friend together, she discovers the weight those promises carried" is what the blurb on the book said and I don't feel it was really done.

I thought the narration was well done and that helped to put me into the book as I listened.

Good book
