This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
Death was everywhere. They all stared at me, bumping into one another and slowly coming forward.
Sixteen-year-old Zharie Young is absolutely certain her mother morphed into a zombie before her untimely death, but she can’t seem to figure out why. Why her mother died, why her aunt doesn’t want her around, why all her dreams seem suddenly, hopelessly out of reach. And why, ever since that day, she’s been seeing zombies everywhere.
Then Bo moves into her apartment building―tall, skateboard in hand, freckles like stars, and an undeniable charm. Z wants nothing to do with him, but when he transforms into a half zombie right before her eyes, something feels different. He contradicts everything she thought she knew about monsters, and she can’t help but wonder if getting to know him might unlock the answers to her mother’s death.
As Zharie sifts through what’s real and what’s magic, she discovers a new truth about the world: Love can literally change you―for good or for dead.
In this surrealist journey of grief, fear, and hope, Britney S. Lewis’s debut novel explores love, zombies, and everything in between in an intoxicating amalgam of the real and the fantastic.

Why I’m Waiting: OK before y’all even start with me, YES I saw that there was zombies in it. I know I have expressed my hatred for them in the past, but that was because they were all the same: someone accidentally rose someone from the dead, they try hiding it from everyone, it gets out anyway, and then they lose them again in the end, but the zombie understands. But this time, I don’t think I’ll mind. From the synopsis, she says she’s been seeing zombies everywhere, so that takes away like half of the predictable plot right there. I’m hella excited to see how this goes! BUT HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO MAKE IT TO AUGUST?!
What about you? Will you be waiting on this with me? Have you heard of this one? Have you had the same experience with zombies as I have? Let me know in the comments!
OOh nice! I find zombie reads interesting. I guess I haven’t read the same ones you have as the zombies I’ve read are all the undead monstrous type that everyone is running from! But then Warm Bodies was something totally different! Lol.
Here’s my WoW
Have a GREAT day!

This sounds like the zombies are gonna be a depressing metaphor.
