A review by trisha_thomas
Hell Followed with Us by Andrew Joseph White

4.0

What a hidden gem this was! I had no idea this would be so good. As soon as I started, it was hard to stop. Benji was a complelling reader. Benji is angry and frustrated but also feels stuck and unable to change the trajectory his life is going.

I liked that Benji was just a very raw and real character. I like that I saw two parallel stories being told, one seeped in zealous cult teachings but also the gray area of saviors manipulating survivors. I loved that I felt the rage and power at times but also the sadness of feel apart from the others because of what makes you unique.

I was completely swept up in the story, wondering who was telling it straight on and what everyone's uderlying reasons were. There were definite parts that were hard to stomach, but I loved the broken down world and these brokenly, lovely teens.

A huge thank you to the author and publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.
