Eat Your Heart Out

Shaun of the Dead meets Dumplin' in this bitingly funny YA thriller about a kickass group of teens battling a ravenous group of zombies.

In the next few hours, one of three things will happen.

1--We'll be rescued (unlikely)

2--We'll freeze to death (maybe)

3--We'll be eaten by thin and athletic zombies (odds: excellent)

Vivian Ellenshaw is fat, but she knows she doesn't need to lose weight, so she's none too happy to find herself forced into a weight-loss camp's van with her ex-best friend, Allie, a meathead jock who can barely drive, and the camp owner's snobby son. And when they arrive at Camp Featherlite at the start of the worst blizzard in the history of Flagstaff, Arizona, it's clear that something isn't right.

Vee barely has a chance to meet the other members of her pod, all who seem as unhappy to be at Featherlite as she does, when a camper goes missing down by the lake. Then she spots something horrifying outside in the snow. Something...that isn't human. Plus, the camp's supposed "miracle cure" for obesity just seems fishy, and Vee and her fellow campers know they don't need to be cured. Of anything.

Even worse, it's not long before Camp Featherlite's luxurious bungalows are totally overrun with zombies. What starts out as a mission to unravel the camp's secrets turns into a desperate fight for survival--and not all of the Featherlite campers will make it out alive.

A satirical blend of horror, body positivity, and humor, Kelly deVos's witty, biting novel proves that everyone deserves to feel validated, and taking down the evil enterprise determined to dehumanize you is a good place to start.

This book was so fun! It has a great cast of characters and a fast-paced adventurous plotline. I am pretty sure this was the first book I ever read that had zombies in it and it was intense. I thought the concept was well developed and scarily realistic in some ways.

Society has put us all under a spotlight when it comes to weight and if you search for weight loss programs you will find way too many to count. Why not use that to some sick scientists advantage by creating something as simple as a weight loss bar to experiment on unsuspected individuals. Now those individuals are zombies running all over the camp.

I can guarantee you will not want to put this one down once you start it. The audiobook is great too with a whole cast of characters to make your experience even more enjoyable! I definitely recommend it!
