Um, well. How do you rate a book that's consider young adult and where the protaganist is a British high school girl who takes up a one-way pen pal-ship with a man on death row in the US so she can absolve herself of her sins of leading to her boyfriend's death?

I dunno, to compare it to anything else feels like comparing apples and oranges. And it's not especially eloquent nor does it wax philosophical in any deep sort of way. It's . . . a story where a girl must come to terms with her life and for that, I liked it. Further though, I was like "who came up with this?"
