I read this with a few people on Instagram for a buddy read. They helped make the reading enjoyable for me and also helped me because I’m a scaredy-cat. Having their assurance that it wasn’t a scary horror book like The Exorcist movie helped.

My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix was fun and filled with so much nostalgia. I figured if I can survive watching the Fear Street movies on Netflix for the nostalgia than I could give the buddy read a try and I’m glad I did. There is some horror in this enough that I learned not to listen to this while walking the dogs late at night. I read the vhs paperback edition (loved that book cover the most) and also the audiobook whenever I was walking and such.

The story is set in the 1980s so there is so much nostalgia for me. It’s really thick on friendship and I loved that. I’m looking forward to reading Grady Hendrix’s other books.

This is such an addicting dystopia book that I'll read it again (after I finish reading the trilogy that is).

I was sceptical in reading this because the only other dystopian book I've read before this was the Hunger Games.
This book was better in the way that young teens aren't thrown into a arena and forced to kill each other like HG.
Roth really knows how to write a good suspense. I couldn't put this down
