Waiting on Wednesday, #43


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases we can't wait to get our hands on.

Here's my selection for this week...

Ketchup Clouds by Annabel Pitcher
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Expected Publication Date: November 12, 2013

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. . . .

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.
Wow! I just have no clue what to expect from this novel and that's the main reason why it immediately caught my attention! Ketchup Clouds feels like a dramatic, yet captivating novel, and I'm sure Zoe has an intriguing story to tell of how she fell for two boys and one is no longer around. I can't wait to dive into this novel and journey with Zoe as she shares what she's done and what she's going through. Sounds like a must read to me!

Sooo, what book are you waiting on?
