My Best Friend's Exorcism: A Novel
Soon to be a major motion picture.
From the New York Times best-selling author of The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying
Vampires, this unholy hybrid of Beaches and The Exorcist blends teen angst and unspeakable horrors into a pulse-pounding supernatural thriller.
The year is 1988. High school sophomores Abby and Gretchen have been best friends since fourth grade. But after an evening of skinny-dipping goes disastrously wrong, Gretchen begins to act…different. She’s moody. She’s irritable. And bizarre incidents keep happening whenever she’s nearby. Abby’s investigation leads her to some startling discoveries—and by the time their story reaches its terrifying conclusion, the fate of Abby and Gretchen will be determined by a single question: Is their friendship powerful enough to beat the devil?

"The devil is loud and brash and full of drama."
Fun! Retro! Everything I adore about the eighties is in here. Madonna, Weird Al, Judy Blume, ET, Silver Spoons, jelly shoes, roller skating... Plus, a teenager possessed by a demon, hell-bent on ruining lives and wreaking havoc.
“Y’all want to talk to Satan?”
Can we talk about how often, when I was a teen, my mother asked "what possessed" me? I was convinced SHE was the one who was the devil incarnate.
Adolescence is so hard.
This whole book was overall meh. I wanted something creepy and horrifying, that didnât really happen until the last few pages of the book. And then after that there was many words about growing apart? Unnecessary. Bit of a disappointment but what can you do.
