4.5

Well-written, engaging, characters very realistic and three-dimensional. 
The amount of trauma Jude experienced and the way it was described felt honestly unnecessary at times. The incredible success of each of the four original men also read as a bit unrealistic.

2.5

i don't know how to rate this so im giving it a 2.5 for fairly in the middle.

on a seperate note i think the back cover should reflect more of the pure agony of this book OR there should be a list of trigger warnings in the begining. i was not prepared!
