Es crudo y no tan alejado de la realidad que viven muchas personas aunque sea duro, triste y difícil de aceptar,pero un excelente redacción de hechos y momentos, descripciones tan detalladas que te hacen tener la viva imagen de como son los lugares y hasta del olor de ciertos personajes

Sad is an understatement for this book. Its hard to rate such a sad book for enjoyment lol. I see what people mean when they call it trauma porn but I don't see it as quite that. However I found that as a reader, the effect of each revelation of Jude's past was less and less each reveal, as if I was desensitised to it as more was revealed. I particularly enjoyed when characters were introspective and reflecting on their actions and both positives and negatives of their own personality, when they knew they were being irrational, etc - I think those were my favourite parts to read about. I didn't sob over this book like you see a lot of people on tiktok doing, but I did cry at the end and I will think about this story, these characters that we got to know so well, for a long time.

ojmoores's review against another edition

The story seemed to really harp on Jude’s pain. It got to a point where so many horrible awful things were happening to him, and I just didn’t want to read about it anymore. I actually got kind of mad at the author for making me read such horrific things.
