R is a zombie. He "lives" in a plane at the airport. He has friend, M, who is also a zombie. They sometimes hang out together. He also has a zombie wife and two zombie kids. But that doesn't stop him from falling for a living, breathing girl, Julie.
One day, feeling a bit peckish, he heads into the city, looking for a bite to eat. He and his zombie companions are lucky enough to find a group of teenage humans out foraging. This is where he first encounters Julie and, for reasons unknown to himself, he saves her from the others and hides her in his airplane.
Julie, of course, is terrified, being held captive by a zombie. But, as they spend more time together, Julie begins to soften toward R. And R begins to feel more alive.
There is only one thing that may come between their burgeoning love: R ate her boyfriend's brain.
This was a cute idea. And it was just a few pages into the story that I realized I had seen it as a movie. I enjoyed the movie and that kind of spoiled the book for me. Also, the movie ending is more upbeat than the novel. But I did enjoy the novel too.
