This is an IHeart podcast.

Hey, this is Annie.

And Samantha.

And welcome to Stuff I Never Told You, a production of IHeart Radio.

Quick content warning. We are going to be talking about death, suicide, and the grief that surrounds that. Nothing is too explicit, but it is at the foundation of the book we're

talking about. So just keep that in mind. And today we are talking about a relatively

newish book. So spoilers. Go get it. I recommend it highly. But yes, we are digging into the 2018

novel Undead Girl Gang by Lily Anderson. It's a dark horror-ish, comedy-ish mystery

that is told from the point of view of Mila Flores, an angry, fat Mexican-American teen witch

who decides to take matters into her own hands after her friend Riley's mysterious death is

dismissed as suicide. Despite the recent deaths of two

popular students, Dayton and June, whose deaths are also ruled as suicide. So a lot of kind of

loosens. One of the things is her friend Riley liked to dye her hair. There were just a lot

of reasons why Mila was like, this is not what happened.

This is not what happened.

So Mila uses her powers and she raises these girls from the dead and together they get to

the bottom of what happened.

So, I mean, if that plot alone hasn't pulled you in, I don't know what to do.

I kept thinking this needs to be like a CW series. Yeah. It's so good. I'm like, yeah, who hasn't,

who's not bought the rights to this? Because this needs to be a series ASAP. Yeah, I saw, I saw some

rumors that it was going to be adapted, live action, but I didn't, I don't know if it went beyond like someone should do this.

But I did see some talk that it might happen, which would be cool. It would be really cool.
