I’ve been wanting to read this book for the longest time. I finally got around to reading it as part of my Spooky TBR. I thought this was a fun book! The premise is awesome. A teen witch bringing three dead girls back to life to uncover the truth about their deaths is perfect for Halloween. I liked the interactions between the three dead girls and Mila. It was especially interesting to see Mila, the school outsider, interact with June and Dayton, the two popular girls. I liked seeing the relatio...

This book turned out to be everything I expected, plus a little more. It’s such a fabulously-written murder mystery with layers of wit, grief, and girls supporting girls, and it’s SO enjoyable to read.ALSO. DO YOU SEE THAT COVER. I LOVE ENAMEL PINS. 🌹 WHAT I LIKED - It’s an extremely well-written mystery? I don’t usually read murder mysteries, but I can spot a good one when I read one, and this is a good one. While my lowkey suspicions about the murderer were correct, I was still surprised when

I don't read a lot of YA books, but every once in a while one comes along that catches my eye – especially one that sounds like a combination of Heathers and The Craft. I wasn't wowed by the book, though it was a quirky read, with some fun parts and sad moments too. With such an interesting premise – a novice witch raising a gang of zombie girls from the dead to solve their murders – I was hoping for a little more. I'm bummed that the mystery got lost in a lot of the stereotypical high school dr...

I’m gonna need more girl gangs and lesbian witches in my life from now on.This book is definitely not one I would usually read - but I loved it!Mila accidentally resurrects her best friend and 2 other girls from her school, with the intention of discovering the murder.I had no clue who the villain was - that was one hell of a curve ball for me.Also I loved the character development and the honest assessment of high school. Plus the honesty of different characters - different ethnicities, the dis...

My love for witches is fed by this wonderful book. Themes of letting go, friendship, and love.

I’m feeling SO MANY THINGS. I adored the characters, but I feel like the story was a little lacking. I still highly recommend because the writing is fantastic, but it didn’t quite live up to the expectations that I had after completely adoring The Only Thing Worse Than Me is You. Womp :c(Although clearly still fantastic bc 4 stars but ya feel me)

4.5 stars!

This is an ownvoices book that has a fat, biracial, Mexican teen girl as the main character (who attempts to solve a murder [+ it features zombies!]).In other words; a win for Intersectionality .

In UNDEAD GIRL GANG, a fat black mexican wiccan teen resurrects a couple of girls by accident when she's trying to find out what happened to her late best friend Riley. This is the first book by Anderson that I'm reading and I'm absolutely blown away. She has a writing style that I absolutely love, effortlessly mixing laugh-out-loud humor with extremely nuanced dissections of complex topics such as grief, mental illness (PTSD and depression), fatphobia, racism, religion -- it's so subtle and don...

Sooooooo much fun even though it was predictable. The audiobook was awesome!

Listened on audiobook with my husband on a road trip which always colors my views (in a positive way because it helps us connect and we talk about it) so no rating.Really entertaining and fun, definitely a book that knows when to take itself seriously and when NOT take itself too seriously. Protagonist identifies as Latinx and fat. Genuinely really funny and I laughed out loud in some places which is a gold star because it’s hard to get me to laugh when I read.However, also suffers from MAJORLY

Oh my god, you guys, this book was such a delight. With sarcastic, witty narration, a compelling mystery, and an on-point vibe, I was completely impressed.Undead Girl Gang follows Mila, who brings back three girls from the dead: astrology-obsessed and complicated June, joyful and hilarious Dayton, and Riley, Mila’s best friend back from the dead. First of all, you guys, I binged this. I haven’t binged a book in a day in around a month, so that should definitely say something. The snar...

If I can recommend one YA mystery to you, it’s this one. I’m honestly not usually a big fan of YA mysteries—most of them fall short for me in a big way—but this was such a wildly enjoyable, hilarious, heartbreaking, and gorgeous little story. While most mystery novels are about the destination (discovering the whodunit), this one is about the journey, and the things Mila learns along the way. It’s about grieving, friendship, overcoming your judgments, and so much more. I did big, real magic

4.5 stars “So what are you going to do about it? Stop sitting back and waiting for everyone else to do the dirty work for you. You aren’t a princess. You’re a walking, talking dead girl. And the sooner you get angry about that, the sooner you can do something other than read through spells you don’t even fucking believe in!” Yes!! I really had no clue what to expect when I started this. In fact, I tried lowering my expectations. That wasn't necessary at all. I have a real soft spot for the twi...

Lilly Anderson deftly created a well thought out and original story in Undead Girl Gang! So this was honestly quite an unexpected read for me. The basic story, in a nutshell, follows Mila (Camilla Flores) who brings back her best friend, Riley & 2 mean girls (Dayton & June) from the dead after the 3 girls die within a week of each other in what the police claim are suicides. Mila knows Riley would never kill herself and she is determined to uncover the real killer. Honestly, the mystery within

Riddle me this: there are people on this hellsite that read yeti/human porn and yet a book with potentially the best premise in the world (girl raises murdered BFF from the dead to try and solve her murder) isn't even getting THE HYPE it deserves?? "There's nowhere to step on the rotting porch that doesn't come with a screech or a groan of wood, so I walk with my usual sense of purpose. Boots on the ground. Collar up. Zombies behind me." So, this book is fucking fantastic and not just because

After three local girls in the small town of Cross Creek die, allegedly by suicide, things begin to go off the rails for the other residents. Stuff like this just doesn't happen in Cross Creek. Does it?Mila Flores, a student at Fairmont Academy, was best friends with one of the dead girls, Riley. She knows there is no way Riley would ever have participated in the supposed suicide pact the authorities are presenting.For one thing, Riley wasn't even friends with the other girls, June and Dayton, r...

4.5 starsA very fun read that I could not put down! It was exactly what it claimed to be. I really loved the group of enemies-to-friends and the discussion of bullying, not knowing all sides of a person, and opportunities for growth. I also really liked the fat rep (main character is fat and Latinx).Audiobook: 5 stars. Rebecca Soler delivers another great performance full of emotion and humor. I'd suggest the audio over the print if you can because I think that this format largely contributed to...
