Undead Girl Gang by Lily Anderson

2.0

I was so excited for this one, soooo excited. But it fell flat. A book about how a plus-size teen witch brings her dead best friend and two other girls back to life for a week to look for revenge on their murderers? Awesome. Done. I’m all for it. Gimme. It all started out okay, but it left me feeling bummed by the time I was finished reading. Mila misses her best friend Riley so hard after Riley is mysteriously found dead but nobody seems to think it was anything other than suicide, just days after two other classmates were found. I was looking forward to Mila’s reunion with Riley but Riley is mean and distant throughout the entire book. I couldn’t really see how they were ever friends in the first place. Neither of them get much redemption or closure either. It turns out the other two girls June and Dayton were way more interesting and gave Mila more character development. Then for the hunt for their killer, I felt like there were so many times that I just wanted to yell at them to go about something a different way, but I will say I was left surprised.
