"If you're looking for a dangerous, shocking, and unexpectedly touching story, this is it...This is a book that will shake you to the core." - Bustle "31 Books Bringing the Heat this Summer" "An emotionally resonant novel with an unlikely cast of characters you won't soon forget. Bryn Greenwood's unique voice and her understanding of human nature offer an amazing tale of family, loss, and love that's as unpredictable and inspiring as love itself." -Brunonia Barry, New York Times bestselling author of The Lace Reader "Written in lyrical and searingly honest prose, Bryn Greenwood tells a powerful story of love and resilience against the bleakest of backdrops. Like the best fiction, this is a novel that means to disturb and challenge as it forces us to look with compassion on every last one of its flawed, memorable characters. I was captivated from the first page to the last." -Patry Francis, three time nominee for the Pushcart Prize and author of The Orphans of Race Point "[A] powerful, provocative debut...intelligent, honest, and unsentimental." - Kirkus Reviews (STARRED) "Achingly raw and beautifully written, All the Ugly and Wonderful Things is both a hypnotic coming-of-age story and a heartbreaking tragedy. Greenwood's emotional prose and her well-drawn characters immediately drew me in and kept me captivated. I'm still thinking about Wavy, and her ugly and wonderful world, long after I've turned the last page." -Jillian Cantor, author of Margot and The Hours Count "Bryn Greenwood is so good it hurts. Her writing is lean, precise, elegant and dripping with the telling detail-the understated bit of dialogue that reveals everything." -Robert Ferrigno, New York Times bestselling author of Monkey Boyz , Horse Latitudes , the Prayer for the Assassin trilogy and other novels, "If you''re looking for a dangerous, shocking, and unexpectedly touching story, this is it...This is a book that will shake you to the core." - Bustle "31 Books Bringing the Heat this Summer" "Captivating and smartly written from the first page, Greenwood''s work is instantly absorbing. Pithy characters saunter, charge or stumble into each scene via raw, gripping narrative. Greenwood slow-drips descriptions, never giving away everything at once. Rather, she tells her story as if lifting a cloth thread by thread, revealing heartbreaking landscapes and riveting dialogue in perfect timing. This book won''t pull at heartstrings but instead yank out the entire organ and shake it about before lodging it back in an unfamiliar position." -Christina Ledbetter, The Associated Press "Greenwood''s haunting novel...is a story that will stay with readers long after the book is finished." -Lisa McLendon, The Wichita Eagle "Bryn Greenwood has handed readers a strange - but strangely grabbing - tale." -Harry Levins, St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Greenwood is a gifted writer, and Wavy''s story will stick to your bones long after you put this book down. These characters will fast become friends, and you will find yourself reluctant to leave their ugly and wonderful little world." --Madeline Lemieux, Creative Loafing Charlotte "An emotionally resonant novel with an unlikely cast of characters you won''t soon forget. Bryn Greenwood''s unique voice and her understanding of human nature offer an amazing tale of family, loss, and love that''s as unpredictable and inspiring as love itself." -Brunonia Barry, New York Times bestselling author of The Lace Reader "Written in lyrical and searingly honest prose, Bryn Greenwood tells a powerful story of love and resilience against the bleakest of backdrops.

VERDICT Greenwood (from Kansas, daughter of a "mostly reformed drug dealer") astounds in creating a world where assorted murderers, felons, and thieves are sympathetic. Alternating narrators à la The Sound and the Fury create a dynamic where Lolita meets a dissonance of values/taboo romance like East of Eden , Damage , or The Little Mermaid ." --Library Journal "Achingly raw and beautifully written, All the Ugly and Wonderful Things is both a hypnotic coming-of-age story and a heartbreaking tragedy.

The is a memorable coming-of-age tale about loyalty, defiance, and the power of love under the most improbable circumstances."-- Publishers Weekly, "An emotionally resonant novel with an unlikely cast of characters you won't soon forget.

Synopsis
- A New York Times and USA Today bestseller - Book of the Month Club 2016 Book of the Year - Second Place Goodreads Best Fiction of 2016 A beautiful and provocative love story between two unlikely people and the hard-won relationship that elevates them above the Midwestern meth lab backdrop of their lives. As the daughter of a drug dealer, Wavy knows not to trust people, not even her own parents. It's safer to keep her mouth shut and stay out of sight. Struggling to raise her little brother, Donal, eight-year-old Wavy is the only responsible adult around. Obsessed with the constellations, she finds peace in the starry night sky above the fields behind her house, until one night her star gazing causes an accident. After witnessing his motorcycle wreck, she forms an unusual friendship with one of her father's thugs, Kellen, a tattooed ex-con with a heart of gold. By the time Wavy is a teenager, her relationship with Kellen is the only tender thing in a brutal world of addicts and debauchery. When tragedy rips Wavy's family apart, a well-meaning aunt steps in, and what is beautiful to Wavy looks ugly under the scrutiny of the outside world. A powerful novel you won't soon forget, Bryn Greenwood's All the Ugly and Wonderful Things challenges all we know and believe about love. 31 Books Bringing the Heat this Summer -- Bustle Top Ten Hottest Reads of 2016 -- New York Daily News Best Books of 2016 -- St. Louis Post Dispatch
