Ketchup Clouds by Annabel Pitcher
Zoe, not her real name, begins writing letters to a death row inmate in Texas. She feels a kinship with him because she killed someone, and so did he.
Let me back up...
Zoe goes to a party and meets two boys. One is mysterious and gets her jokes, the other is the most popular boy in school. Fast forward a few weeks to the Guy Fawkes bonfire, and she sees them both again. She sees mysterious boy with another girl, and decides that no matter how much she likes him, it wasn't meant to be because he has a girlfriend. So, she starts "dating" popular boy, Max. As it turns out, mysterious boy is single, and his name is Aaron. And, oh yeah, he's Max's older brother.
Even though Zoe is dating Max, she loves Aaron. He loves her too. They plan to tell Max, but things go awry, and one of the boys ends up dead.
Over the course of the year following the death, Zoe writes to the death row inmate, telling her the story of how he killed one of the boys who loved her.
