I'm intrigued by this one, always have been, but I'm a bit eh about zombie books and movies, etc. I guess I'm a bit worried I'd have trouble sleeping at night, heh.

It sounds interesting though, that juxtaposition of everyone struggling and doing everything they can to survive vs. the girl who actually wants to die. I can see how that'd be triggering, but I think that was a really good idea, using a zombie apoc as a backdrop for that. I may give this one a read at some point!Kit @ Metaphors and Moonlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113986982046115579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-46901797355802557622017-08-04T06:08:47.347-07:002017-08-04T06:08:47.347-07:00I bought this some time ago.
