I finished Claire’s first novel today. It’s a YA family saga, set in a zombie apocalypse, and it had me on the edge of my seat the entire way through the book. That or crying. I did a lot of crying along the way.
In her own words:
“WE DO NOT FOLLOW THE DEAD is the story of Alejandra Ramirez-Wood, a sixteen year-old in love with science, and born to a destiny she could never willingly refuse. She has two sisters: independent Liana, and X-Men obsessed Olivia. When the Plague begins, and the US starts to implode in on itself, her family intends to flee West, to meet up with her mother’s relatives in California…but everything is thrown into chaos when someone they love is bit.
What follows is a transcontinental journey through the now-wastelands of the US and the abandoned Mexican north, full of grief, madness, and danger.”
I can’t wait for you all to read this book/see the movie that will inevitably be based off of it.
