reflective sad slow-paced
Abelist. Read through a mediocre book to be hit with a bunch of ableism at the end.<spolier> With 20 pages left of the book, the big twist is revealed and, surprise! The ex-girlfriend has a disabled child. The author then goes on to spend the rest of the book describing said child as "a curse," "evil," and the main character now reflects on how easy and blessed his life has been having a "normal" child.
