I think the YA bend does this story a disservice. I appreciate the age of the characters, but I think the book itself could've pushed a little harder. Reading the afterword put things into perspective; i had picked it up for a more horror-leaning dramatic romance, while the author, mid-pandemic, really needed something hopeful. I think that comes through clearly in the book, perhaps to the story's detriment. It's a cute romance as is, i was just hoping for a bit more zombie story.
