    About this audiobook

    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. A boy who sparks a fire in her to write back.

    Jon’s story is different than Adriana’s; he’s already been at Compass for years and will be in the system for years to come. Still, when he reads the words Adriana writes to him, it makes him feel like the walls that hold them in have melted away.

    This fast-paced, highly compelling tour de force novel exposes what life is like in detention—and reveals the hearts of two teens who are forced to live in desperate circumstances. 

    Editor's Note

    Tender romance…

    Adriana and Jon, two young inmates at Compass Juvenile Detention Center, form a surprising connection after exchanging letters in a journal smuggled to and from the library. Before long, they become determined to meet, despite Compass being segregated by gender. Shusterman (“Scythe”) and co-authors Young and Knowlden deliver a tender YA romance in a surprising setting, complete with an element of mystery and commentary on the U.S. justice system.
