Ketchup Clouds | Annabel Pitcher

Dear Mr. S. Harris, Ignore the blob of red in the top left corner. It's jam, not blood, though I don't think I need to tell you the difference. It wasn't your wife's jam the police found on your shoe. . . . I know what it's like. Mine wasn't a woman. Mine was a boy. And I killed him exactly three months ago. 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 boys, 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2. Read this one for school and actually quite liked it! I wasn‘t expecting to, to be honest, but the voice was very strong and the plot kept pulling me back in

“He was just standing on an ordinary pavement as cars roared behind him, and there was nothing special about it whatsoever except my heart didn't seem to realise. It soared out of my chest and into the sky, a flash of scarlet in all the blue.”

This is described as a children's book. This it is not. Never give it to a child. It is explicit. It won the Waterstones Children's Book of the Year Award 2013. Words fail me.

I don't know too much about this book, but its cover (and title) caught my attention at the dollar store, so... I bought it. #MarchIntoReading

"...proper English rain, falling in lines, not dots..."

I love this line. I just had to finish this book as soon as possible. Have I ever expressed how tired I am of happy endings? Well I wished this story had a happy ending. The format of letters for chapters was a welcome change. Character development is on point. I can't think of anything else I could want from a novel. 5 ?

I'm loving this book. All the sass of an adolescent girl laid out in letters to a death row inmate. I need more 😍

Robothugs I probably would've picked this up just based on the interesting title. 😅 8y

JoeStalksBeck @Robothugs that's what caught my eye! Lol 8y
JoeStalksBeck @Currysunshine it's even more odd because I haven't heard from the death row inmate.. yet 8y

Un libro incantevole, nonostante la trama banalotta riesce a trattare un tema scottante e attuale, quello della pena di morte. Un libro per ragazzi rivolto anche a un pubblico adulto. Consigliato

'Zoe' has done something awful, something she can't admit to her family, so she decides to write letters to a death-row inmate to confess. Interesting, engaging characters, kept me on my toes til the end. Love her little sister, Dot! 4/5*
