I need you to know the truth.'

But now Ed's execution date has been set, and Joe is determined to spend those last weeks with him, no matter what other people think...

It's always a delight to receive Sarah Crossan's latest YA novel, and this time was no different. It came in a beautiful slipcase, and the cover art is breathtaking, as usual. I was so excited to read it. If you pick up a book by Sarah Crossan, you know it's going to be fresh - something different - because, unlike the majority of YA out there... it's in verse! And if you like an emotional read, Crossan will always deliver.
