My Best Friend’s Exorcism – Grady Hendrix


It’s the 80s, and there’s so much of it. Abby invites everyone in school to her birthday party at the roller rink, and only one person, Gretchen, shows up. Gretchen gives a disappointing present, but the two girls become best friends. We follow them through the grades, the boys, the catty friends, until a small group of them try some drugs, try to go skinny dipping, and Gretchen gets lost in the woods. She comes back with maybe some PTSD, and she gets worse before she gets better. Stops bathing. Stops changing her clothes. Stops being normal. Everyone’s worried, but the more 

Abby tries to get to the bottom of what happened and how she can help her friend, everyone turns on her instead. Why is Abby spreading lies, they ask? Why is Abby being such a bad influence? Abby is surely the reason behind Gretchen’s downward spiral, and we don’t want our daughter associating with her anymore. If it’s not Abby . . .

I, like everyone else in the world, just finished watching Stranger Things 3, and needed to go back to the creepy 80s. This book (with that amazing, eye-catching VHS style cover) was exactly what I needed. So much 80s nostalgia, and just the right amount of creepy and heart that I stayed up past my bedtime every night with this book. Eager to read everything else Grady Hendrix has written.
