Twice Shy by Patrick Freivald
2.0
The story line was an interesting one. Ani having the ZV virus has to be an emo kid so that her being a zombie is not detected, even though she wants to be a preppy cheerleader. She's in love with her neighbor and is bullied at school. Her mom is a brilliant doctor who's working at finding the cure for the virus so she can bring Ani back to life.
I enjoyed the book and the ending but I felt that there was a few parts where the story went flat and it seemed to jump around instead of explaining or telling that part of the story.
I must warn you there's a lot of cutting in this book. Ani does it to not want to eat people's brains but I'm not sure that I am comfortable "glorifying" this action even in this setting. It's a serious condition that can really hurt kids. There's also talk about drinking and Ani's mother gives her alcohol to sell to her friends another issue that kids deal with in real life that shouldn't be taken lightly.
