yeah, overall I ended up liking this book more the second time. I still can't forgive the way the female candidate was written, though

Pretty good depiction of what life after zombies might be like. Pacing was good. Main complaint is the exposition was repetitive - several things were explained to us several times throughout the book in almost the same wording.

This series was my introduction to Mira Grant, and now I have multiple shelves dedicated solely to this incredibly prolific (and epidemiologically well-informed) author. Also she's a delightful individual.

Moderate: Incest

Incest doesn't show up in the first one, and isn't teeeeechnically incest since the characters are not biologically related, but the fact that it's one of the healthier relationships in the setting is much more damning of the setting than it is an endorsement of adopted siblings getting intimate. I didn't think it was done in a gross way, but anybody with personal incest trauma absolutely needs to know going in that it's gonna come up.

 That blog post got me 12 years ago when I first read this and it just got me again 😭😭

I notice the normalized disability rep and aro/ace coded main character this time around and appreciate the (even if it was unknown to me at the time) contribution to my bookish upbringing those years ago.

Original review 👇🏼
This novel is a successful blend of zombies, politics and blogging. There's just enough of each element to make it appeal to many different readers, some of which are not entirely comfortable with all three elements. I myself was not fully on board with the blogging side of the novel, but I was converted easily. 
Feed is one of the best books I've read, and it changed my outlook on life. Sure, it's a "zombie" book, but it's got depth. It's a book that shows true familial love, loyalty to one's beliefs, and what it means to be alive.
