Upon reading 'Love in the Time of Zombies' by Cassandra Gannon, I must confess that I have never encountered a book that made me think, "I need to pick up another work by this author faster than a zombie chasing a human!" until now. To say I was pleasantly surprised by the sheer delight I experienced while reading this novel would be an understatement – it's like finding a hidden stash of chocolate during a zombie apocalypse!

Who could have ever imagined that a story set amidst a zombie apocalypse could be so utterly charming and heartwarming?

In my opinion, this book is nothing short of a comedic triumph. It has been quite some time since a novel has had me laughing so hard that even zombies would pause to wonder what's so funny. While the humor may not be everyone's cup of tea, I found it to be a perfect match for my personal taste – like a zombie finding the perfect brain to munch on.

From the playful clichés and amusing puns to the witty remarks peppered throughout, each comedic moment is expertly timed and executed, making for a delightful experience that had me exercising my laughter muscles.

Remarkably, there wasn't a single character in the book that I found dislikable. Brewer, in particular, has earned a special place in my heart as my spirit animal.

The dialogue is sharp, the storytelling is nothing short of exceptional, and the romance is tender and sweet – like finding a bouquet of roses amidst the undead. If you're in search of a book that will simultaneously warm your heart and elicit peals of laughter, look no further – this one is a no-brainer (zombies need not apply).

And as the cherry on top of this delicious literary sundae, rejoice, for there are no dreaded third-act breakups! It's like finding a safe haven in a world of zombies – pure bliss!

Before we part ways, a quick disclaimer (with a wink and a nudge): I apologize for the abundance of zombie puns in this review – they seemed to rise from their graves and shamble right into the text! But, let's be honest, who doesn't love a good zombie pun now and then? So, sorry-not-so-sorry, and I hope they brought an undead smile to your face. Happy reading!
