BAD TASTE IN BOYS by Carrie Harris. I read this book in one-freaking-day. One day. I skipped lunch and ignored my computer -- two things that never happen. It is a whirlwind of action from the beginning and it refuses to let the reader go until the end. I love books like that.
Here's the back cover copy:
Someone's been a very bad zombie.
Kate Grable is horrified to find out that the football coach has given the team steroids. Worse yet, the steroids are having an unexpected effect, turning hot gridiron hunks into mindless flesh-eating zombies. No one is safe--not her cute crush Aaron, not her dorky brother, Jonah . . . not even Kate! She's got to find an antidote--before her entire high school ends up eating each other. So Kate, her best girlfriend, Rocky, and Aaron stage a frantic battle to save their town . . . and stay hormonally human.
If you don't know Carrie Harris, well then remedy that immediately right HERE. She is one of the funniest, wittiest and most genuine writers in blogland. I've laughed out loud at blog post after blog post. BAD TASTE IN BOYS is filled with snark and action and zombie "ewww" moments. F U N read. If this book doesn't get picked up to be a movie then I have no faith in Hollywood. It screams MOVIE - probably because of Carrie's ability to "write her story alive" for the reader.
Great book!

Carrie is awesome. And anything including zombies is for the win in my book.
I am grinning so wide that the top of my head is at risk of falling off. Thanks SO MUCH!!!!
Christina: : )
Matthew: This book is FTW!
Carrie: I gush because it's great.
Gr, I blame the hiatus entirely on life. And the fact that I never memorized your blog link, so I would always have to go to your page to get here, and my dumb computer would never load it, so I did a frantic Google search, and I EVENTUALLY came to your profile, where I had to find my way to the blog through that...Oy. Sorry for not being here for so long, I have been VERY distracted. >_<
Sounds like an interesting read...like a whole new league of interesting...Who would have thought that a book about steriods turning boys into zombies could be so great? Come to think of it, that would make an awesome scenario for an superhero TV episode, or something...with super creepy graphics, of course. ^_^
Ehem. Anyway. I've read a book in one sitting...uh, once before, several years ago, so now that you say you did so with this book, I am extremely tempted to read it. Usually I start with extreme addiciton to a book, and then I put it down for a day and it takes forever for me to pick it up again. Bad habit. :c
Imma add this to my "must read" list. Thanks for introducing it to me. XD
Wait. Carrie who?
