LOTF 02: My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix

In this episode, Mackenzie and Lisa discuss My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix.

Folks, we try our best to be unbiased about this book but here's the truth: we just love it so much. This episode is a total gush sesh, a love letter to the book. But: we tell you why we love it so much and we break down everything that makes it work so well. We enjoyed the hell out of talking about this book, and we think you will, too.
