Rachel Finnikin was prepared for a lot of things. She was prepared to get married to a rich doctor. She was prepared drive a luxury vehicle. She was prepared to be a married lady of leisure. But she was not prepared for the zombie apocalypse that threatened to come between her and her first date with the potential future husband. Of course, Rachel isn't one to let something as ridiculous as a horde of savage undead get between her and Dr. Dream-Come-True. By allowing her underlying ruthlessness to seep out and by focusing on what could be a life-changing event for her (the date with a Dr, that is) she may just find a way to survive unscathed AND make it to the restaurant by 8PM. But will the doctor? ~From GoodReads
"Not everyone who survives the zombie apocalypse should."
Rachel is a woman on a mission: to land a man. So it sucks that on the same day she has a date with a handsome doctor, the apocalypse strikes. But Rachel's not giving up so easily. She fully intends to keep her date, and will brave the zombie hordes to make it.
I didn't realize until I started reading ARE WE ON...but I have missed author Evelyn Lafont's special brand of storytelling. I read the first chapter of this on her blog quite a while ago, loved it, and have been waiting since then for the finished product. This novella did not disappoint. And at only approximately eighty pages, it gave me a nice break between books.
ARE WE STILL ON FOR TONIGHT? is a fun addition to LaFont's collection of works. I highly suggest it if you're up for some zombie fun.
