My Best Friends Exorcism was written by Grady Hendrix
SUMMARY: A young Abby Rivers has the worst birthday ever, but midway through her lame party, she’ll meet a special someone that’ll drastically change her life forever.
In this this story of friendship, we follow the high school years of Abby, Gretchen, and a few other friends within their circle. One day, the girls are having a great time hangin’ out and having fun. Things get crazy and go sideways when one of the girls has a wild idea… and in comes the devil!
CHARACTERS: This novel contains a nice cast of characters. I will only mention the two leads.
Abby: She’s a nice kid, always reward hang out and cut loose with her friends. Her favorite movie was E.T. Her parents aren’t wealthy, but they do manage to have Abby in a private school. (Where all her wealthier friends are). Abby is loyal, encouraging, and extremely brave.
Gretchen: The innocent, friendly right hand of Abby. She comes from a wealthy family, which comes with a little baggage, irritating parents. She’s very nice, a great friend… until the devil comes in.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: My Best Friends Exorcism, was a wonderful read. I enjoyed it so much! I may even return to this book next October, turning it into an annual horror read. It was a quick read, loaded with good times and horror.
The characters were written so well! The chemistry between the friends, teachers, and parents was so organic. I was reminded of my high school years through these characters, except I’m a dude… and we didn’t do drugs.
My only issue with the book, was the faith part of the story (being that faith in each other is more powerful than Christ). That’s just due to my personal belief.
Do I recommend you read My Best Friends Exorcism? Yes, I highly recommend this book!
RATING: I will give this book a 4.5 of 5
