The flow was very chunky and it didn't fit together very well.

 I received a free copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

2.5 Stars: I didn’t hate it but I wouldn’t say I liked it

Summary: This graphic novel is about a young girl named Vivi who is living during a zombie apocalypse. Grieving those she has lost, she floats through life until she’s forced to take control.

Thoughts: There’s something about this graphic novel that sets it apart but it just doesn’t break through the norm.

What I Liked: The artwork was really interesting. There was something eerie about it.

The story was compelling at times. I was interested in learning more about Vivi’s past.

What I Didn’t Like: This is a standard zombie apocalypse story but it still was lacking in world-building.

I feel like this had a lot of potential but the plot ended up being a bit messy with not a lot of things being explained.

I've got mixed feelings about zombie stories. Sometimes I really like them and sometimes I think they're the worst. This one was somewhere in the middle. The art is almost cheerful for a zombie book, but the story is a little disjointed and definitely more bleak than I expected from the art. That said it's got some grossness and weird plant stuff going on, and I think it could appeal to some of our teen readers.
