Zoe has an unconventional pen pal-Mr. Stuart Harris, a Texas Death Row inmate and convicted murderer. But then again, Zoe has an unconventional story to tell. A story about how she fell for two brothers, betrayed one of them, and killed the other.

Hidden away in her backyard shed in the middle of the night with a jam sandwich in one hand and a pen in the other, Zoe gives a voice to her heart and her fears after months of silence. Mr. Harris may never respond to Zoe's letters, but at least somebody will know her story-somebody who knows what it's like to kill a person you love. Only through her unusual confession can Zoe hope to atone for her mistakes that have torn lives apart, and work to put her own life back together again.

Rising literary star Annabel Pitcher pens a captivating second novel, rich with her distinctive balance between humor and heart. Annabel explores the themes of first love, guilt, and grief, introducing a character with a witty voice and true emotional resonance.

Amor, morte e mentiras em ritmo de poesia

Minha nota pra esse livro não é pela história, mas sim pelo jeito que ela é contada. Com doses poéticas e sutis, é assim que você percebe que um livro com um tema bem clichêzinho como um triângulo amoroso fatalmente trágico se torna algo agradável, interessante de se ler.
Gostei também história ser contada através de cartas para um criminoso que tem uma história parecida com a da protagonista.
