A quick, interesting read. Good take on "zombies" and very well written. Sad but good! I would love to read a longer version to feel a bit more connected to the characters for the end to have that big emotional impact. But still a good read.

This is so beautiful and yet so sad. I’d recommend this to everyone but yet no one. I want the world to read it and be moved to tears but I want to remain one of the few who ever open its pages. I want to be alone in my sadness and my mourning. I want to keep this as a little piece of myself that no one else ever gets to see. I want everyone to see it. I want to bond over our collective sorrow, over the tears we both have shed for a love we wish we had.
Spoiler
I loved this book and the only spoiler I’ll give is: if you, like my sister, are gay and have made a decision not to consume content where the gay person dies in the end, it’s perfectly okay if you don’t want to read this book. It’s not for everyone but it was for me.
