My thoughts exactly.
I agree with this review so much. Man, if I had a dollar for each time one of the characters kissed another character's cheek...
I'm on page 90 and I don't think I'm going to be able to finish it. The writing is pretty awful and I image the author must not have children because Jenni seems to get over the death of her children in one day. By day 2 she's apparently giggling over the thought of running down zombies with her truck. Really??
I could not agree more! This book was so hard for me to get through. All of the kissing on the cheek and holding hands, and then to top it of the mediocre writing. I was thoroughly disappointed with this book and I don't understand all of the rave reviews.
Couldn't finish it, not sure if it's because I'm a guy but the interaction between Travis and the girls didn't feel legit.
Or the lack of emotion? When Ralph dies and all Travis can say is "I am sorry. I liked him." Really? I did a robot voice in my mind.
