Zombie Apocalypse Running Club by Carrie Mac

challenging dark emotional funny tense fast-paced

4.0

Zombie Apocalypse Running Club was a surprising book I didn’t expect to love. Eira is a giantess, dissimilar to her twin brother, Soren. They’re both just trying to survive their lives under their Christian Nationalist father and his oppressive views. Both queer teens see the approaching zombie apocalypse their father is in denial over, and eventually escape into a zombie ruled world instead. They find an old friend, Racer, a gold medal-winning Special Olympics champion. Racer starts the Zombie Apocalypse Running Club and trains his friends to become runners amongst feral zombies. The group ends up on the hunt for their younger siblings. They find more than they expected in this new world, finding love and security.
