\"Ketchup<\/p>\n

After her boyfriend\u2019s death, Zoe is so overcome with guilt that she finds it hard to function.\u00a0 People assume that her reclusive behavior is owed to the fact that she\u2019s grieving for Max, and she finds that their sympathy actually makes her feel even more guilty. \u00a0In an attempt to unburden herself, Zoe decides to confess to Stuart Harris \u2014 a Death Row inmate in Texas who was listed on a website of prisoners seeking pen-pals.\u00a0 She thought writing to Stuart would be a good idea for a few reasons \u2014 1. He killed his wife and would likely understand what she\u2019s going through,\u00a02. He is in the United States while she is in England, and 3. She could use a false name and address to avoid being turned in to the police.\u00a0 (Yeah.\u00a0 Her name\u2019s not really Zoe.) Through her letters to Stuart, which she writes while hiding out in the shed in her backyard, readers learn about the events that led up to Max\u2019s death and why she feels responsible.\u00a0 I\u2019ll admit that I found myself getting a little frustrated at times, but I don\u2019t think it was poorly done or anything. \u00a0I was just too impatient and wanted to know what happened!\u00a0 I recommend this one to people who enjoy a little romantic drama with their mystery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
