Friends, I hope if you ever think a demon is trying to possess you, you’ll take it a little more seriously than this book’s MC did.
This was really engrossing, and a super straight forward account of a demonic possession. But besides the commentary on women needing to be a certain way to be accepted by men (and society at large) , the book didn’t do too much with it.
Amanda’s nonchalant attitude towards the possession made things feel sorta... mundane, and I couldn't really find myself caring about anyone or anything. Like, oh no. The demon is shopping. How awful.
TL;DR:interesting premise. Meh execution. Engrossing writing.
