Quick, fun read that's pretty entertaining. Like if a Hallmark movie also had hiding a body and fighting off zombies. Painfully 2004 on a lot of topics, but it intentionally pushes some of those stances to the comical extreme, to the point it was hilarious. Gift of the Magi with drugs, but with 2004 stakes of using marijuana? I cannot and will not speak on the schizophrenic/DID writing, but I did really love Molly and am so glad she saved the day. I really can't decide if it's actually because of the time it was written, or if I am supposed to dislike Tuck, but Jesus Christ, dude. A Mexican-American woman in California is not 'exotic' please use almost any other adjective. Surprising lack of angel scenes for what the title advertises, and no zombies until the book is almost over!
