I just had no idea what it was, and I passed it over for “book club reads” and other recommendations. Somehow, I kept passing over it – I’m not sure if it was the book’s unobtrusive cover, or the fact that the title belies nothing. My Review:Īll the Ugly and Wonderful Things has been on my To-Read list for a while. As she grows up with him as her only caring figure, they begin to have a relationship that crosses lines and brings controversy to the local town and has direct and terrible consequences. Taking care of the massive Kellen quickly pulls the giant man into Wavy’s orbit. One night, her life changes when one of her father’s thugs crashes his motorcycle beyond her home. Wavy takes on the childcare of not only herself, but also her new brother. But tragic events lead to her going back to live with her drug-abusing and mentally ill mother. At a young age, the anamalistic Wavy is sent to live with her grandmother when her mother is incarcerated for drug crimes. Born to criminal drug-dealer parents, Wavy is used to fending for herself. All the Ugly and Wonderful Things by Bryn Greenwood is the story of a young girl named Wavy, and her life in the very broken part of the Midwest.
