One of the main characters (Jude) is disabled. The ableist behaviour/language is rarely shown until Jude begins dating Caleb. Caleb does not like that Jude is disabled and forces him to not his wheelchair when he's in pain. He disregards Jude's chronic pain and health issues, "telling him to suck it up and get over it". Caleb is one the antagonist in the book, his actions towards Jude aren't frowned upon by the narration
