Seventeen-year-old Astra's life hasn't been easy. She has no friends, an absent father, and a mom everyone thinks is crazy. Plus, one huge secret: she can talk to ghosts.

Astra inherited her mom’s gift, but sometimes it feels more like a curse. Especially when she meets Isla, who's sweet, cheerful, and absolutely gorgeous. She’s just the right kind of girl to bring Astra out of her shell—and maybe more. The only problem? She’s dead.

When Isla enlists Astra’s help with her so-called bucket list, Astra intends to do just enough to help her move on to the afterlife. She doesn’t plan on getting close to her, and she definitely doesn’t plan on falling in love. By the time the list is finished, Astra realizes that her gift might not be such a bad thing after all.

But Isla has secrets of her own. And when the truth behind her death is discovered, even Astra’s love might not be enough to convince her to stay.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice story. Good for 13 and up.
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2024
Astra Vaughn is 17 and has the ability to see and talk to ghosts. It is a gift or curse she inherits from her mother. Astra comes off as a struggling loner in the beginning of the story. She wears multiple sweaters because ghosts bring coldness and she wears headphones to tune out ghosts speaking to her. Isla, a teen roughly her age, begins talking to her at school and follows her home. Isla has a list of things that she wants to do and Astra agrees to help her. Along the way they become friends. If they finish the list will Isla go away? And then the author adds in a new twist.

This is a YA book aimed at younger teens and up. Nothing is very gruesome even though ghosts appear often with their cause of death visible. It reminded me of Meg Cabot’s YA Mediator series which I love. Astra seems to be OCD or neurodivergent but it is never explicitly stated. The relationship between Isla and Astra is sweet and the helps go in both directions. Astra blooms with her new friendship and even makes a new friend at school too.

I loved the beautiful cover. This is easy story to recommend for 13 and up.

5.0 out of 5 stars an unexpected joy
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2024
Flowers for Dead Girls is such a beautiful and unique YA love story. The main characters are all so distinct and lovely in their genuine and quirky personalities. They are young and insecure but so open and accepting. They make mistakes but are willing to learn and grow. The premise is interesting, and the pace is just right. It is a quick and engaging read that gave me some real feels throughout. My heart grew three sizes, then burst, and at this point, I had to force myself not to skip ahead for the ending. I didn't though and I am so satisfied with how it turned out. My heart is full. This novel is overall an unexpected joy.
We had gay and bi rep, a neurodivergent main, a supernatural element, disability rep, a sweet romance, and OCD rep.
The supporting characters like the parents, such as Astra's mom are so important to the story and the immense growth that takes place. Oliver is a wonderful and invaluable friend.
We get a moody cat and Mr. Pierce's mustache is a character on its own.
The writing is great. Easy to follow, kind of poetic in places, very good editing.
I would gladly read more by this author. I highly recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Are you obsessed with ghosts?
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024
This YA novel caught my eye because of the wonderful cover art. Thank you to NetGalley & Bold Strokes Books, Inc for allowing me to read it before its publication date. All opinions are my own.

*Flowers for Dead Girls* is best described as a modern telling of Casper the friendly ghost but with a cute queer twist. I definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys a low-stakes story about friendship, young love or who is obsessed with ghosts. It’s nicely paced, with plenty of meat in each chapter without droning on.

There’s tons of imagery so it’s easy to get a clear picture while reading. I enjoyed Isla’s character the most. She’s light hearted and sweet, particularly for a dead girl. Astra is a complex seventeen year old who is a great neurodivergent representative. She can see, talk to, and even touch ghosts, even though she claims she isn’t a psychic.

Personally, I did not feel the compulsive draw to read this in one sitting. The repetitive nature of Astra’s point of view bored me at times and most chapters start with a long description rather than action. Things picked up in the second half, so I’m glad I pushed through.

The second half of the book and the ending leave your heart filled. I thoroughly enjoyed the resolution in every aspect. This is such a heart warming story. Teens will relate to it for years to come.
