I did NOT sign up for emotional horror. Anyone who knows me, knows I actively avoid books dealing with depressing topics and emotional trauma. That being said, this book was not for me. Had I known it’d be sad, I would’ve never picked it up. The writing was excellent and the gore factor was still there since it’s a zombie book. But this book left me feeling empty and sad and needing a hug. I don’t find being sad entertaining. 😆 I will say, there’s some pretty rad art sprinkled throughout the book that I really loved, though. Don’t let me review deter you though, this book is is pretty popular and well-loved!
