Imagine this: the world's gone totally zombie apocalypse mode, but wait for it – it's the cheese-filled kind! And the icing on the cake? Gabby and Nadia, the coolest lesbian couple ever, have to deal with this mozzarella madness while keeping their love sizzling.

If you're into love stories that are as gooey as a pizza slice and a zombie apocalypse that's cheesier than a rom-com marathon, this book's for you. Seriously, it's like combining your favorite late-night movie cravings into one wild ride. And let's not forget, Gabby's dream of becoming a top chef is on the line – New York City, here we come! So grab this book, prepare for a lot of laughs and heart squeezes, and let's dive into the messiest apocalypse ever!

I'll have admit, the title of the book was what drew me in but also perplexed me. Zombies and cheese? How would that work? But let me tell you, it definitely did. This novella reminds me of the movie Zombieland with the action packed parts mixed in with humor. You meet a few people along the way that Nadia and Gabby meet, Howell, Junior, Carla and Allen. Howell is my favorite for what he said to Nadia about her and how he wants to make sure she gets back to Gabby. Overall a great, fast paced, short read that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

The Good: Such a fun read! The humorous bits kept me engaged and wanted to continue reading. Fast paced and action packed, you'll read this in one sitting.

The Meh: Nothing. But maybe a few more pages? I wouldn't have minded that.

Thank you to @netgalley and @ericwilliford for sending me the ARC for this one!
