My Best Friend's Exorcism

I have been looking for a light style YA horror novel for my preteen daughter to read and I have definitely found it. I enjoyed the background story of the friendship between Abby and Gretchen and how far a loyal friend will go to help their best friend. The book seems like a cross between Fried Green Tomatoes (the besties)/ and a mild version of The Exorcist. It wasn't as deep or horrifying as The Exorcist but then this is a YA novel and I think it is perfect for people in that age range. There is a bit of humor in it that lightens it up a bit and I also love how the author gradually builds up the novel. The friendship between Abby and Gretchen is definitely a major key to the book and he takes his time developing their characters and their connection to each other. All in all, I found this to be a fun read and have mentioned it to my daughter's junior high school to add to their collection.
