Highway Bodies by Alison Evans

5.0

Honestly, I cannot cope when it comes to Zombies (watched ‘World War Z’ and since then it’s been a large nope from me). With this though, I was at a YA panel at a writers festival and heard about this book. A zombie apocalypse set in Australia, with a cast of beautifully written queer characters? Apart from the Zombies what more could I want?

I thought I’d give it a go, and I am so glad I did!

This novel was wonderfully written with a beautiful collection of diverse characters. I couldn’t help but feel the fear and anxiety they all did throughout the course of (rather horrible) events. Reading as each of the characters faced challenges and overcame them was awesome, and a lot of the solutions to problems were really interesting too.

This will have to be my favourite instance of Zombies. Perhaps ever?

Zombies are still horrid and gross though, not gonna lie.
