Hands down my favorite horror book of the year, and definitely top 5 of all my reads.
This 80's nostalgia packed novel is an expiration in the demonic possession of a teen girl, and her best friend's uncovering of the nightmare that follows.
I love the whole boom. It was heartfelt, it was creepy and sometimes gross. It reminded me of growing up, and best friends and how childhood friends change as you both grow up.
So scary and so many times I was unsure of what was real or embellished by the main character.
I've already reccomended it to people!
