Broken Hearts & Zombie Parts

Product Information

It was so clever and so effective, especially knowing that it was directly from the author's own emotional experience. I don’t care if some situations/scenes are a little over the top because everything is so matching and cute.

Es ist mir vollkommen egal, ob manche Situationen / Szenen ein wenig over the top sind, denn alles ist so passend und niedlich. There is some homophobia in the story, but I thought that it was handled well, as well as some hints at internalised homophobia.

This did fall into the same problem that I've had with other gay romance books, in that Jesse chased a guy who was so obviously unsuitable for him, while the obvious final love interest had to wait for him to notice him until a few chapters off the end. I was so intrigued by the whole situation with his friends, I really wanted to understand it all and could barely stop reading so I found out. I thank William Hussey for sharing such a personal story with us all, I truly enjoyed this audiobook! What made me most upset was that Jesse did not deserve to be treated the way that a vast majority of the characters treated him at one point or another.

Yet another triumph from William Hussey, one of the most powerful and important voices we have in YA right now. He was lied to by nearly everyone and then treated like shit for questioning being lied to as if it was his own fault. Wirklich jetzt, dieses Buch war so unglaublich niedlich und lustig und süß und herzerwärmend und schmerzlich und „ich hab Herzen in den Augen“! And when u reach the day of the operation if you do not wanna give this boy the biggest hug as he prepares for it your dead inside.I loved the novel's focus on body image / identity -- not just Jesse's own, as every single character had their own struggles with that topic.
