After 3 years of living in a bunker, they are out of food. With their family starving Sherry and her father have no choice but to leave the confinement of their bunker to find food. Once they emerge they find the devastating truth.
I really like my own space and I think being stuck in a bunker with my family for 3 long years would drive me up the wall crazy! (not that I don't love my family) (=
I say this all the time whenever I read a dystopian novel but I'll say again, I love post-apocalyptic/dystopian books.
I don't or I haven't read a lot of zombie books before but this was a real creepy book. Not technically zombies but humans contaminated with a mutated rabies virus, they 'cry' milky white fluid from their eyes, which is why they are called Weepers.
This book seemed short, but it was fast paced. I read it within an hour.
Sherry has a bit of a obsession, fascination or problem with numbers, but I guess there's nothing else for her to do other than count.
The romance between Sherry and Joshua was good, not instantly drawn toward each other, it developed over time.
Thank you NetGalley and Usborne for sending me a review copy!

This book was definitely unique, and it was interesting the back and forth between "before virus" and "after virus. However, I didn't love the open ending or the characters. I wanted to root for them, but I didn't care enough to care about what happened to them.

I remember I didn't care for zombies when this book was violently recommended to me. I picked it up thinking I only needed to read 20 to convince myself it wasn't worth it.
Thank you, Winnacker, for proving me wrong and making me love reading a book that has "weepers."
