Ever since dead American teenagers started coming back as zombies (aka the living impaired), society’s been in a state of upheaval as people work out the details of their reassimilation, with reactions ranging from loving acceptance of the deceased, to outright fear and loathing. When Phoebe falls for one of her “differently biotic” classmates, she ends up in a bizarre love triangle, and a whole mess of trouble involving the living and the dead. Thought-provoking and introspective, this is easily one of the most interesting books I’ve read all year, touching upon a host of relevant issues while still delivering a sharp, compelling story. Definitely a don’t-miss.
