i very recently read another one of grady hendrix's books, my best friend's exorcism. it was decently entertaining and i'd been looking at this one for a little while before having read the other. i was not aware beforehand that they were both written by the same author until i went to read this one. i did like this one better. the main character has a lot of flaws but you also feel sympathetic for her and invested in her story at the same time. i liked the concept of the story and the portrayal of ptsd/ocd/agoraphobia as someone who has experienced all three as well at various levels. now that i've read two of grady's books, i can tell he likes a good nostlagia feel with a flawed narrator with a lot of self-doubt but who ultimately cares more about their tribe than the fear of failing and will do anything to protect the ones they care about most. there's always going to be a happy, heart-warming ending and a "love and bravery conquers all" moral of the story.
