I actually really enjoyed this book. I didn’t have a TON of expectations going in, but I enjoyed it! I read it in one sitting. Initially I was thinking, “This is moving too quickly, without really explaining much.” But I think that’s the beauty of it, because so much of this book is R rediscovering what life is. I definitely think the book deserved a little more world building, but since the main protagonist is a zombie, it makes sense why it started out so… gray, for lack of a better word. I think the author did a really good job of weaving that into this book. It’s beautiful, hopeful, and reflective. It really doesn’t feel like a zombie book from R’s point of view at all. 

Also, this was pretty cheesy, but it was cute. It was nice, lighthearted zombie read that I didn’t realize I needed. :)
