Summary

 Fifteen-year-old Zoe has a secret - a dark and terrible secret that she can't confess to anyone she knows. But then one day she hears of a criminal, Stuart Harris, locked up on death row in Texas. Like Zoe, Stuart is no stranger to secrets. Or lies. Or murder.

Full of heartache yet humour, Zoe tells her story in the only way she can - in letters to the man in prison in America. Armed with a pen, Zoe takes a deep breath, eats a jam sandwich, and begins her tale of love and betrayal.

Critic reviews

It's a moving and ultimately highly compassionate tale. To be human is to err, after all.
I would definitely recommend this book for anyone looking for an invigorating, coming-of-age book. The young adult category can often come off as whiney and "woe is me" but this book proves that that is not always the case, even when the main character does have a lot to whine about. There are good authors of every genre if you just know where to look and Annabel Pitcher is one of them.
Annabel Pitcher presents a harrowing tale of a girl learning to deal with love, family, remorse and grief. Through a mixture of her hilarious, sweet and honest confessions, Zoe comes to life on the page.
Blending powerful emotion and darkness with ironic humour, it is a gripping and moving story about secrets, lies and growing up. Sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes wistful, often funny and always compassionate, this is a beautifully-crafted and unexpected coming-of-age story that will win readers' hearts.
This is a clever, multi-layered book. It's heartstoppingly sweet, very sad, and very, very real. Everyone should take notes on how to write a love story from this gorgeous novel because I believed every word. And, of course, I cried.
Highly recommended.

The narration is lovely but the storyline is disappointing. Not as good as her others.

I'll be honest.... couldn't see where the book was going to start with, but I was pleased I listened to it by the end.

Not bad.

This audiobook came up as a recommendation based on other reads and I'm really glad that I did listen to it. The main character is beautifully portrayed, innocent and yet not, all told through a series of letters to a man in prison. You can feel her emotions and she takes you on the journey of what has happened as she fumbles her way through innocence to horror. Very good read / listen.

I think we all have our own ketchup clouds
