THAT’S IT?! AJW, please give me more. Hell Followed with us is 100% justified queer rage and I absolutely adored it.
this would’ve been great as a duology. there is so much more to tell. I want to know more about Benji, about Nick, about the rest of the survivors, about what happens next.
“It’s harder for someone to pin you down as a girl when they need a moment to pin you down as human.”
honestly, Benji has my whole heart. the only reason this doesn’t have a five-star rating, is the lack of coherence in the writing, the dissatisfying unveiling of some secrets, and the rushed ending. the final showdown is crammed in less than 50 pages. as I wrote, this would’ve been great as a duology, or with the addition of an epilogue.
