This book is suffering porn. It confuses trauma with character development, and takes a sick delight in watching the characters suffer, especially Jude. 

At the same time, hearing these characters whine was also intolerable. I love reading challenging and dark books, but this is so edgy it reminds me of Snyderbros, and also comes across as self-parody
