Broken Hearts & Zombie Parts

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Heart-Stopper with life-saving heart surgery - a commercial, breezy, accessible and funny gay YA romance.

"I loved this brave, hilarious, impossibly tender book with my whole zombie heart." - Becky Albertalli, author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

"Blisteringly funny, joyous and smart, with such a big, beautiful heart." - Simon James Green, author of Gay Club!

A Big Gay Rom-Zom-Com with Heart: Sex Education meets Love, Simon - with fake zombies - in this savagely funny gay YA romance about body image, self-acceptance and falling in love.

Jesse Spark has a broken heart and in a few short weeks he'll require major surgery to repair it - which means he only has a month to accomplish two almost-impossible tasks:

1) Shoot his epic zombie movie on a shoestring budget if he has any hope of getting into film school.

2) Fall in love before this surgery lands him with a huge scar - because how will anyone ever fancy him after that?
