"I WILL MEET YOU HALFWAY BETWEEN NIGHT AND THE DAY WHERE THERE'S NO WALLS BETWEEN US AT ALL. Adriana knows why she is in Compass juvenile detention center: her bad taste in "friends." If she can manage to keep her head down for the next seven months, she might be able to get through her sentence. Thankfully, she's allowed to keep her journal, where she writes down her most private thoughts and observations when the pressure inside her is too much. Until the day she opens her journal and discovers that her thoughts are no longer so private. Someone has read her writings and 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 from 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 just melt away. Neal Shusterman, bestselling author of Scythe, and coauthors Michelle Knowlden and Debra Young together tell an intense yet tender story of two teens, trapped in impossible circumstances and unjust systems, willing to risk everything for love -- no matter what consequences their fates have in store." -- Provided by dustjacket.
