My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix
3.0

OK, I saw this billed as "Mean Girls meets the Exorcist" and I was like cool, I love Mean Girls. But like...I thought that meant it would be a satire or funny? But it's just like...a legit horror story about a teenage girl possessed by a demon. I felt tricked! I don't like to read scary stories! It was scary!

If you like scary stories maybe you would like this! I don't know! I guess I liked the characters! Or whatever!

Also BE ADVISED that when Gretchen is possessed, the demon makes her kill her dog! WTF DEMON

Also it's set in the 80s and I kind of feel like maybe the 80s setting was supposed to be funny or something but it's kind of just like, that's when it happened?! IDK IDK

SpoilerI did like how in the end they vanquished the demon through the power of FRIENDSHIP??? I GUESS???
