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.

This book was fine. I thought the art was nice, the zombies were unique as zombies go, and that there were some parts that I found really lovely (like finding the silver lining of the apocalypse being that we could see the stars again). But beyond that it just didn't super click for me.
