Probably a realistic telling of how suicidal teens would react in these circumstances. THAT. From the blurb, I expected it to be a comedy of sorts. A dark comedy - sure, but a comedy. It was realistic and answered questions I always have, when reading or watching P-A fiction. F***. From the jokey and lurid cover, I expected some dark Zombieland humor mixed with horror and fear.

What. One of the better reads from kindle first. Dev is on the spectrum. Check. The author uses the first hour of his time to beat the reader over the head with hot-button topics, and his beliefs instead of building the character's identities. But for Dev, Lucy, and Marcus, the greatest hope—and greatest threat—will come when they find each other.Welcome back. Dire straits abound in these riveting recs from the Crosstalk author.“That's what literature is. I really enjoyed that the author dealt with issues that generally get overlooked in the mainstream "zombie-type" stories. Funny and grim, central character on Asperger spectrum. If the book had been filled with a political agenda, I wouldn't have liked it, and I would hate to see the author start censoring himself out of fear of offending someone.I received this book early from Amazon Firsts and was expecting a lighter version of The Stand, but for teens. Lucy is pregnant but grew up in a religious home.
