A perfect blend of government conspiracies, relatable characters who develop beyond their initial stereotypes, and zombie-kicking action.” —SLJ

“Meet your new favorite zombie story: Eat Your Heart Out is packed with nonstop thrills and chills, and a kickass leading lady you’d gladly follow into battle against the undead.” —Sarah Glenn Marsh, author of the Reign of the Fallen series

“A thrilling joyride that delights in upending tropes and stars a girl with a heart of gold (and steel), Eat Your Heart Out is the zombie book you’ve been waiting for. Equal parts hilarity, mayhem, heartbreak, and biting wit, and filled with memorable characters to root for, this book is the perfect summer read.” —Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces and You’d Be Home Now

Eat Your Heart Out is a very humorous and satirical look at body positivity and diet culture…This is a book I would’ve loved to have when I was a teen…To have an entire book filled with large characters who use the positives of their bodies to their advantage, instead of being bullied and ridiculed is a welcomed breath of fresh air. Representation matters!” —Britney Young, actress from the hit show GLOW
