3.0

This is an odd and lighthearted story told from a teenager’s perspective about how they continue to navigate through a typical teen life as they transition to a zombie. It’s refreshing to read about how a teen might cope with the day-to-day highs and lows of living a zombie life from an individual who has the ability to communicate normally - it’s a trope I enjoy.

It’s very much YA, and I think could hit perfectly for young people who like zombie stories or catch the symbolism of learning to cope and find joy as you live a life knowing that you may not fit so easily into the mainstream.
