I don't really do "horror" but this YA girl-power zom-com (think Geekerella meets The Walking Dead) is just on this side of doable for me. Yes, there's gore and gross-out and mortal danger and lost lives, BUT it's campy enough, keeps moving enough, and has enough humor (particularly in the internal monologue of June, our narrator) to make it readable for me. And listenable — the chapters I listened to from the audiobook were excellent and probably added a whole star to my rating.

There are a few long explainers about the fictional zombie show that our friends here are mega-fans of, but the info is dumped in such a cheerfully pro-fandom way that I didn't even mind. Do I have any interest at all in zombie shows or a ZombieCon? I do not. But I love it when people are unabashedly, enthusiastically into something like that. With no cynicism, just pure geeky joy.
