- Bestselling author of Scythe and Challenger Deep Neal Shusterman, here with coauthors Debra Young and Michelle Knowlden, tells an intense yet tender story of two teens, trapped in impossible circumstances and unjust systems, willing to risk everything for love-no matter the consequences. Adriana knows that if she can manage to keep her head down for the next seven months, she might be able to get through her sentence in the Compass juvenile detention center. Thankfully, she's allowed to keep her journal, where she writes down her most private thoughts when her feelings get too big.Until the day she opens her journal and discovers that her thoughts are no longer so private. Someone has read her writings-and has written back. A boy who lives on the other side of the gender-divided detention center.

Even though they live on separate sides of a gender-divided detention center, they find a way to communicate-and eventually meet.Love Letters: As Adrianna and Jon fall for each other through the pages of Adrianna's journal, her writing transforms into powerful, evocative love poems.Against All Odds: Amid the harsh realities of the criminal justice system, Adriana and Jon find comfort in the connection they develop learning from each other's experiences and perspectives.
