Book Synopsis



When a first date between a doomsday prepper and a nerdy film professor goes horribly, zombie-apocalypse-level wrong, the mismatched pair team up on a road trip to safety in this delightfully feral rom-com.

"Frothy fun that manages to hit all the notes that zombie fans enjoy while still managing to pack in a ton of spice and emotions."--New York Times bestselling author Ruby Dixon

With a new virus spreading and a lockdown on the horizon, Maisie Bennett is determined to check one item off her bucket list: Get laid. But that's no easy feat for an anxious doomsday prepper who's never made it past a first date. So when a handsome, stubbly-jawed professor swipes right and agrees to meet up, Maisie vows to act normal--and to leave her taser at home.

Dr. Everett Greer has lost all lust for life after a personal tragedy, but he doesn't have the heart to stand up the poor woman his best friend catfished to force him back "out there." Maisie turns out to be surprisingly lovely, but there's something off about her, too, with her clinking cargo pockets, shy smile, and utility belt full of--are those weapons? Unfortunately, their awkward first date goes from bad to doomed when the GI virus that's trapped half of America in the bathroom starts claiming its first casualties, then reanimates them into flesh-eating zombies. And this is precisely why Everett doesn't date anymore.

As the country spins out of control, Maisie and Everett find themselves an unlikely team of two--well, three, if you count Everett's cat, Chicken--as they travel north to hopeful safety. Along the way, Maisie and Everett make a deal: she'll teach the soft, liberal arts professor how to survive, and he'll teach her how to live--through movies, travel, and, to Maisie's delight, sex lessons. But when their growing feelings are put to the test, they're in danger of losing not only their brains to the zombies, but worse, their hearts to each other.



Review Quotes




"Frothy fun."--New York Times bestselling author Ruby Dixon

"Laugh-out-loud funny and heart-meltingly tender."--Megan Bannen, bestselling author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy

"An absolutely delicious fever dream of a book that is hilarious, gory, sweet, and sexy in equal measure . . . One part zombie apocalypse story, one part rom-com, and one part road trip from hell--and Laura Piper Lee balances every element to perfection. I am low-key obsessed with any author who can come up a premise this unhinged (affectionate!) and execute it so well. All the stars."--Jenna Levine, USA Today bestselling author of Road Trip with a Vampire



About the Author



Laura Piper Lee has wanted to be an author ever since she was a kid. Well, first she wanted to be a mermaid, but that didn't work out. She enjoys flirting, laughing, and avoiding exercise, so writing romantic comedies is pretty much her perfect career. Assuming the lack of exercise isn't a problem, she'd definitely survive the zombie apocalypse.
