Shambling Guide to New York City

Really enjoyed this up to the point when the love interest entered the scene. I was a little surprised by how much that character dragged everything down. I'm a little tired of the chivalry schtick, though, so maybe that's my issue. Granted, the author did make a point of saying that Zoe was perfectly capable of taking care of herself, but it's irritating that the point has to be made. Why can't men approach the situation with the idea already formed that women are capable on their own? Why does it have to be something they learn? Silly and a tad nitpicky, but I enjoyed the story and eagerly await the next.
