In a world where the lines between the living and the undead blur, Phoebe Kendall navigates her teenage life as a Goth girl with a penchant for all things dark. However, her ordinary struggles are compounded by an extraordinary twist: her crush is a zombie. While trying to fit into a society that struggles to accept the reanimated, Phoebe finds herself exploring themes of love, loss, and acceptance in ways most of her peers cannot begin to fathom.
As she delves deeper into her emerging feelings for her zombie crush, she faces not only the external judgment from classmates but also her own internal conflict about what it truly means to connect with someone who is, in more ways than one, beyond her grasp. The backdrop of high school adds layers of complexity, juxtaposing typical teenage dramas with the pressing reality of a world increasingly populated by the undead.
Amidst the challenges of growing up in a society grappling with these changes, Phoebe's journey reveals much about identity, prejudice, and the human condition. The story captures the essence of young love against a strange new world, challenging societal norms and forcing its characters—and readers—to reevaluate their perceptions of life and death.
