The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
1.0
Where to start...
The protagonist was inquisitive but really it was a level of fassness that just jumped right into life threatening.
Her love life was trash. She wanted Travis and then she wanted. The book literally goes "omg, my life is in shambles and I'll never live again if I can't be with Travis" - midway through the book- "omg did I make a mistake?! Would X have been a better choice?! -end of book- "omg Travis is my one true love" few pages later "X we would have been so happy".
The story lines were wack. We went from village, a potential sisterhood gig, being threatened by the head sister and getting kicked out of the sisterhood, almost getting married, escaping zombies, some ocean fantasies, a village that conveniently had all the home furnishings and food stocks, conveniently shacking up with her preferred boo, poking zombies with a spear to find the owner of the clothes she was wearing, zombies somehow magically busting into the place, more running, ocean talk, decapitations. None of those flowing to make a cohesive story.
I conveniently had the audiobook + physical book and may have muttered "how is someone so daft" several times. I called it quits about 60% in - honestly I would have stopped sooner but you know how sometimes you can't stop watching a bad thing happen, like a train wreck. This was a bad thing.
