this was basically a parody of the covid-19 pandemic. very good commentary on how people act when they are exposed to a situation like this.

Hooked into this after reading the beginning excerpt in A Cabin at the End of the World. It was a fun take on the zombie tale, trying to lean more into the realism version while still holding onto the horror, which was well balanced.

I really liked this book. It’s a bit like every zombie film out there, but there’s hope in this one which I like. I genuinely cared for all the characters, and I cried a lot. 

It’s not the most mind blowing but I liked it enough to cry when sad things happened, which doesn’t happen with badly written books. 

Sassafras and lullabies.
