Overall, the story of Abby and Gretchen’s friendship (and an exorcism) was well worth reading. I did not expect to feel so much at the end of the story, so it was a nice surprise after such an intense journey! I appreciated many of the characters, who often provided a glimpse into the challenges of being a teenager during a different time period than my own.
I would suggest checking content warnings prior to reading, as some parts of the book were very descriptive.
