This book is suddenly under the delusion that anyone cares about JB or Malcolm. Come on, Hanya, this is Jude's show and that's how you been writing it so far.

I find it impossible to like Jude and I am always aware of Hanya trying to crudely manipulate my emotions. I understand all art does but this is so in your face I disengage. Jude doesn’t feel real, Caleb doesn’t, Willem doesn’t, Harold doesn’t. I am unable to forget for a second about Hanya writing this ridiculous story. If this was a movie, a loud sound of sad violin would be playing nonstop on a loop.

Not having sex: it was one of the best things about being an adult.

the world of this book feels as real to me as middle-earth.

I'm surprised you'd read a book you know you'd hate

And I am neither hating nor loving it yet. I loved the first 150-200 so much that I bought myself a copy. My enjoyment declined a little since then. And I am struggling to get hooked on the story, people say they could not put it down, some read it in a day. And here I am, after a little more than a month, just at 300 pages...

It's literally been called trauma porn and has a sequence of on page unadulterated torture that makes people full on cry on the internet. When you're done be sure to watch Owl Criticism's review of this book. He called it euthanasia fanfiction
I did not get to those pages yet. Right now it's unbearably sweet, everyone has unlimited love, patience, care and money to give to Jude. And of course Jude is thinking how underserving he is page after page. I don't think I ever encountered a lukewarm opinion on this book, so I had to check for myself. I am curious if it will make me emotional, since I am quite dead inside, been for a while.
