Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay
A horror novel. I haven't read one of these in a while.
It's the intersection of an exorcism and reality TV. It's also a big question of what is actually real and who is the villain. At the end of the book you get to decide what actually happened. But in the whole two sisters, Meredith and Marjorie and their parents are going through some stuff. Dad has lost his job and turns to Catholicism for solace. Mom is the bread winner. Merry is an eight year old and Meredith is hearing voices. It's soon decided that she is possessed and needs an exorcism. And if you are going to have an exorcism, you might as well make a reality TV show about it.
It's a fun read. The narration jumps around from the past to the present and to a blog that examines the Reality TV show. It's doesn't get very scary but there are a few bits. And there is a bit of a twist at the end. I'm still unsure of what exactly happened. It's kind of unsettling. Expect more Tremblay books in the future.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
