This is such a breath of fresh air in a genre that's been stagnant for years.
It took an actual Zombie Apocalypse for Akira to realize that he had been living like a Zombie for the past 3 years due to the stress his exploitative company put him under on daily basis.
He confesses his love to his office crush who was also his boss's side piece.
He cleans his room properly for the first time and actually has time to kill instead of being stuck in an interminable cycle of work and sleep. He pings his friends to finally meet up for a drink. Mind you he is doing all this when the virus is running rampant in the streets.
And then, he makes a bucket list. And it's the one of the most ordinary lists ever. There are no grand goals. They are as simple as camping on rooftop, playing games on a widescreen TV, laugh all night with his best friend and such. Things that he missed out on all these years. Simple pleasures that felt so out of reach when he was working.
Terrific start. Can't wait to see where it goes from here.

*I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*
So, I picked this one up to see if I should add it to my YA collection. The answer? No. But that doesn't mean it isn't good! In fact, I had a fantastic time reading this one and laughed A LOT. This would be great in the adult section, especially for New Adults.
Akira is happy about the zombie apocalypse because it means he finally gets a day off. Funny, yes, but also a real look at what some people, a lot of people, have to deal with. It made me think about how many other overworked people would find the apocalypse relaxing -- at least at first.
But, I'm calling this more of an adult or new adult book because of some of the nudity, drinking, and the problems the main character dealt with in his life.

The Zombie apocalypse has never seemed so appealing as when your stuck in a never-ending cycle of work at a soul-destroying job! Akira is working for a "black corporation", where he is forced to work unpaid overtime in an office full of other miserable folks. Now that the zombie apocalypse is in full swing, he's living his best life, riding motorcycles, drinking beer, and working on his bucket list. A fresh take on the zombie genre, and a nice mix of horror, action, and comedy.
