Grady Hendrix is very good at taking mundane everyday things and giving them a comical horror twist. My Best Friend's Exorcism takes a high school friendship where one of them undergoes a massive personality change, turning into a full on mean girl and trashing her relationships, after a skinny dipping incident goes wrong and she gets lost in some woods near a creepy house. The implication is that there is a possession, but there is actually still a fair amount of ambiguity in the way the story is told.

Hendrix has a lot of fun playing with the typical horror and high school friendship tropes. The result is an entertaining romp through a darkly comic high school horror. Very entertaining!
