"My Best Friend's Exorcism" by Grady Hendrix

It's spooky month folks, so we are reading a book that's very on theme! Grab your flashlight and a mug of hot apple cider, it's Halloween!!

**please see notes below for some additional book info**

Abby and Gretchen have been best friends since fifth grade, when they bonded over a shared love of E.T., roller-skating parties, and scratch-and-sniff stickers.

But when they arrive at high school, things change. Gretchen begins to act….different. And as the strange coincidences and bizarre behavior start to pile up, Abby realizes there’s only one possible explanation: Gretchen, her favorite person in the world, has a demon living inside her. And Abby is not about to let anyone or anything come between her and her best friend.

With help from some unlikely allies, Abby embarks on a quest to save Gretchen. But is their friendship powerful enough to beat the devil?

**This book is a horror and romance book. So this might touch on some topics that you might not typically see in an off-the-shelf romance. Also, for context, the book is set in the late 80s, so this book's relationship might look different than the contemporary romances we've read previously. Below I've pasted the trigger warnings listed on Storygraph
Graphic: Animal death, Vomit, Body horror
Moderate: Rape, Eating disorder, Drug use
Minor: Adult/minor relationship, Sexual assault, Racism
