Special Thanks

To my sister: Thank you for your constant encouragement and for letting me talk you through every plot hole and new idea, no matter how early in the morning or late at night.

To my brother: Thank you not only for the character names, but also for suggesting songs for the playlist and still reading every word of this silly little passion project of mine, even though you're not a big reader.

To my parents: Thank you for your unconditional love and support. I wouldn't be who I am today without you.

To my person: Thank you for making me less of a cynic, allowing me to believe in the magic of love enough to write something as truly cringe-worthy as a Zombie Romance Novel.

Dear Reader,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining me on this journey. Though I only joined Wattpad this year, I first conceived this story in December of 2020 and began writing it in January of 2021, when the world was slowly starting to pull itself back together after the pandemic. In some ways, this story is my reaction to it and serves as the life raft that carried me through both challenging times and big life changes. Writing a novel has been a lifelong dream of mine, and it's readers like you who are helping me to realize it so thank you. While this is still very much a first draft, I am incredibly grateful to the Wattpad community for helping me push forward to complete this project. Every comment, share, vote, and read has made my day. I hope this story resonates with you and inspires you.
