What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

We follow this girl (teenager) in a world with zombies and people living in fenced communities. Apart from the little communities, the rest of the world is a labrinth that connect the communities together. On the sides on this labrinth are high fences that keep the sombies away. I remember the maze to be in poor shape with bad maintenance, thorns and ferns everywhere.

The girl goes on an adventure in the labrinth (I think it's because she's been expelled from the community). I think there is an element of romance between the main protagonist and a boy??? And he comes with her into the maze but maybe later.
I remember the feeling of urgency and thrill to be STRONG

This might be a series, but if so I only read the first book.

(I read this in french when I was 13 or 14 (so around 2014). But I think the book was originally english)

I want to say it sounds a bit like The Forest of Hands and Teeth, but not too sure.
