Hell Followed With Us is a harrowing, beautiful read. It chilled me to the bone in the best of ways! The cast of characters are diverse in every way, and White does a fantastic job of making them human in the best and the worst of ways. Benji, our protagonist, is a character who digs into the very heart of you; he is a flawed, traumatized person you cant help but sympathize with, and even as his humanity shifts and changes, that stays constant. I absolutely adored this book. 10/10 did cry.
