Feels very MFA (derogatory). I'm not a fan of books where the MC doesn't have a reason to exist and just kind of moves around experiencing sad and bad things (looking at you, catcher in the rye). the writing is opaque and unsatisfying in its telling. i fell into the rhythm a few times but otherwise, it was a bit of a trial, both conceptually (zombie apocalypse and being undead = lesbian breakup) and in the words, which felt laced with meaning that we were not privy to. would probably work way better as a short story.
