About

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?

Bring these to your book club — or discuss them with readers on Readfeed.

1
How does Grady Hendrix use the 1988 setting—from the music and fashion to the pervasive fear of the "Satanic Panic"—to enhance the horror and emotional stakes of the story?
2
In what ways does the novel capture the intense, all-consuming nature of female friendships during adolescence compared to other relationships in a teenager's life?
3
Gretchen’s sudden behavioral shift isolates her, mirroring the way mental health struggles, trauma, or growing pains can create wedges between friends; how well do you think the supernatural possession acts as a metaphor for real-world teenage alienation?
