**If you haven't read the first book in the series yet, don't read this review. It will possibly spoil it for you.**As the warning in author's synopsis states, this novella will be a spoiler if you haven't read the first book in the series. If you're reading this review and you haven't read Until the End of the World, stop reading this review right now. Go and get it. Well, what are you waiting for? Go-- you won't be sorry!If you have read Sarah Lyons Fleming's first book in the series and are wondering why you should buy this short little book that falls between Until the End of the World and And After, stick around. Wow! I'm bossy today!Remember Peter? If you're like me, you got misty-eyed when he insisted on staying on that dumpster surrounded by a horde of hungry zombies. You probably also rejoiced when he showed up at Kingdom Come and was reunited with his friends. Did you wonder what happened to Peter between the time he got separated and the time he showed up at the farm? Me too! That's why you should read this novella.This is Peter's story. We learn how Peter escaped certain death at the hands teeth of zombies and what happened after that. New characters are introduced in So Long, Lollipops and they are a great addition to the story. It's fun to watch Peter's friendship with the new characters develop. His story is filled with scary, uncertain moments. We watch him struggle and ultimately succeed in his quest to reach those he considers his family. The book may be short, but it is not lacking in excitement.I thoroughly enjoyed this addition to the series. Sarah Lyons Fleming's fun-- yet gripping-- writing style shines in this novella, just as it does in the first book.
