Carrie Harris goes all the way. And I don’t think she’d mind my saying that because it’s true—in her writing. Her book about high school and popularity and zombies and football is BEYOND funny because she never steps back from the edge. Her zombies don’t just stalk around. They puke and grab and bite (literally). Her main character, Kate, is smart, snarky, silly and insecure—sometimes all at the same time. BAD TASTE IN BOYS is the kind of book you’ll pick up and won’t put down until you reach the end because you just won’t want to stop laughing (sometimes while wincing). So, I guess Carrie will make you go all the way, too.
(I know this isn’t my standard review format, but Carrie makes you want to break the mold.)

I've heard great things about this book, but I can't handle zombies!
This book sounds awesome. I love the cover! I'll have to check it out. :)
These both sound great and are on my list of books to buy! Thanks for the recommendation. Oh yeah, and AUDITION is sitting on my stack of books to read now!!!
I'd give it a try, Theresa--I'm not a huge zombie person either but this book is just hilarious!
I love the cover, too, Madeline!
And, wow, Heather--I'm thrilled you've got an arc of Audition. Gulps. Hope you enjoy it!
Carrie is so funny, I know her book will be too. I'm curious to see how zombies play out in a school setting!
I agree, I couldn't stop laughing throughout this book. And Kate is an awesome character!
I LOVE zombies! And the funny! Can't wait to read.
Carol, Shana & Jen: funny + zombie = one-of-a-kind Carrie! Happy reading!
