Reach for this book when your teenager is grappling with the shifting landscape of high school friendships, particularly the painful feeling of being left behind as a best friend changes or finds a new social circle. It is a witty, supernatural exploration of loyalty that asks how far we should go to protect those we love, and when a friendship might actually be becoming toxic. Set in a Catholic girls' school, the story follows Jane as she discovers her friend Allison has literally sold her soul for popularity and beauty. The book uses a demonic pact as a metaphor for the 'deals' teens often make to fit in. While it involves paranormal elements like demons and soul-trading, the core is a grounded look at jealousy, accountability, and the messy process of growing up. It is an excellent choice for readers who enjoy humor paired with deeper questions about morality and self-worth.
