Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc, which I received in exchange for an honest review. I'll post that review upon publication.
"Shaun of the Dead meets Clueless"
I am in love with this book! I don't get to say that too often. But this book was a rollercoaster ride of action and daring. First off I liked the cover. It was cute. Colorful. Showed three badass looking girls on the cover. You'll enjoy this book if zombies and friendship is your thing.
Once I started to read the book I really couldnt put it down. I hat to force myself to step away in order to do what I needed (like eat) but then I'd come back again. Finished it in about 4 days since I had lots ...more

Thank you to Philomel, for giving me a digital galley of this book in exchange for my feedback.
I'm going to be completely honest with you, book review readers: I haven't watched "The Walking Dead." It sounded really good, I knew a lot of people whose opinions I respect loved it, but I watched one episode, got to the bit about the horse, and noped right out. So I'm pretty sure that there are levels of this book that whooshed right past me.

Thank you Philomel Books for providing me with a review copy in exchange for an honest review.
This story didn’t work for me. I must admit I am not a teen reader but I review many many YA and MS level books that I greatly enjoy. And I do like watching “The Walking Dead." This fact is one of the reasons I requested this title. The TV show is more about people and relationships than about zombies. but there is still a lot of grossness.
June and her friends, have saved up every penny to go to a huge zombie convention, with panels and merchandise and, best of all, appearances by the stars of ...more
Many thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read this book!
The friendship between the girls reminded me of characters written by Claire LaZebnik and Lisa Lutz. These girls were strong and resourceful and supportive of each other...lovely...I liked the way June looks at the world. Also, Janet O'Shea was a bada**!

This book would make a fantastic movie. In fact, the book itself reads like a movie. So much so, that a screenwriter would merely have to reformat the text to write the screenplay. I want that job! I do love the plotting, the way all the beats pay off later in the story, and all the characters have well-developed arcs (some of which end prematurely in being turned into Zombies and later killed or electrocuted.)
Today is the day that June had been waiting for. She's saved up her pennies in order to afford a ticket to ZombieCon, a convention for all things zombie, but with a heavy focus on her favorite TV show, Human Wasteland. All is going well except for seeing some odd behavior from fellow con-goers who are getting just a little too into their own cosplay. But after they realize that there are actual zombies at ZombieCon, June a d her friends kick into action to save the day.

Reading this book was the one good thing about my flight from Germany to Chicago.
I mean, I loved this book. It was a refreshing feminist addition to the world of zombies with realistic characters and emotionally complex moments, sure, but it was also FUN! It was just the right balance between goofy and gory, and the cheesy moments felt intentionally so. I mean, it's a love letter to the zombies, the horror genre in general, fandoms, and female friendships; cheese makes sense here! What little ...more

This was a fun, fast read (when I actually had time, hence why it took me like "two weeks" to read it when in reality it only took like five sessions).
The characters are fun/flawed/grow. The plot is a decently basic zombie apocalypse. The writing wasn't my favorite and there were times it felt a little formulaic, but it wasn't enough for me to really dislike anything about it.
Thanks to Penguin for the ARC at NYCC.

This book was amazing. It was so refreshing and fun. The author gave a realistic view inside the complicated world of friendship between high school girls. And these girls kick ass! I really enjoyed how the main character evolved and learned to trust herself in this book. She didn't have a set personality.

Was really enjoying this ARC but it started getting a little too creepy for me. Give to any zombie/horror lovers!
I love this cover, I love this premise, I hate that I have to wait until April.
