4.5 stars. Quirky and uplifting zombie romance. The 1st person POV really works in this book. 'R' (the zombie) makes a compelling, chilling and sardonic narrator.

Some of the underlying bits to the story I felt were weak, such as the reason for the plague. However, I do not want to go into that here. Would be a minor spoiler, but a spoiler nonetheless.

I'm not entirely sure if hardcore zombie fans will fully enjoy this ...more
