What this book is about

R is a zombie who can't remember his name or his past life—but when he eats a boy's brain and absorbs his memories, including his feelings for a living girl named Julie, something begins to change. Isaac Marion's zombie romance is funny, tender, and surprisingly moving—a story about what makes us human, told from the perspective of something that has lost most of it.
