5.0

Hell Followed With Us is a beautifully horrific story about trans rage, religious trauma, chosen family, and finding oneself among the the parts mangled by the journey to get there. This book was a THRILL RIDE and I am so glad to have picked it up amidst a bit of reading burnout. It was a cathartic read for this  trans, neurodivergent adult.
