This book was only okay and I wouldn't really recommend it. It had one of my biggest pet peeves: I hate when books try to be relatable by inserting real world cultural references with not purpose. A ridiculously fast acting zombie virus exists in this world and so do troy sivan concerts, kingdom hearts, IKEA and the song "weathered" by Jack Garratt. Something about that bothers me to no end.
Beside that - I didn't love the characters, didnt love the structure nor the writing. Allegories for the aids crisis are important stories, this one (if it was) just wasn't that good. It felt like it was trying too hard all around.

Meh, I understand what it was going for, but some of it felt really weird. Zombies going on, and there's mostly talk of someone terminally ill not putting out enough so it's okay to cheat on them. Attempt at a very emotional ending without much care for the characters.

So conflicted on if I wanted more or less from this story. I feel like it could either be a 40 page story or a 300 page novel.

This was ok — Zombie Honeymoon meets the last of us. The book was trying to be a lot more emotional than I felt in the back half.
