Where the Dead Go to Die is clever, unique, and heart-breaking.
It's a world with infected people who eventually turn into zombies. The virus takes 8 months to 15 months to turn you once you are infected. During the infection, you can spread the virus in just about every form possible to spread a virus. The world we get put into is a world where we have hospice set up for those infected. The hospice, of course, has protesters who think this is wrong and want things to go back to before where the infected were just killed.
This leads to the question of what you would do? Would you want your loved one and other people's loved ones to be cared for once infected? Or would you rather have your loved one killed as soon as they were infected?
This book hits a lot of points home about society and how things can change your point of view when a loved one is involved, whether good or bad.
I enjoyed this book overall. The only thing I found to be a little lack-luster was the ending. To me, it wasn't the strongest or most impactful of endings for this book.
