jordanriley's review against another edition
I gave up on this book when it became clear that the ableism was not just a passing comment or two. Her brother is treated like an object of pity and is a stereotype of the innocent disabled person who never complains and just serves to inspire the able-bodied people around him (through his pain and death, of course). I felt gross reading it and skipped to the epilogue to make sure there wasn't going to be a redeeming plot twist that kept it from going where I thought it was... nope.
Graphic: Ableism
Moderate: Bullying, Chronic illness, and Terminal illness
