About All the Ugly and Wonderful Things by Bryn Greenwood
Set against a Midwestern world shaped by drug dealing and addiction, Bryn Greenwood’s novel centers on Wavy, a girl who learns not to trust even her own parents and tries to care for her younger brother. The night sky and her fascination with the constellations offer her a rare sense of peace.
After an accident, Wavy forms an unusual friendship with Kellen, a tattooed ex-con working for her father. Their bond develops as she grows from a child into a teenager, and the tenderness she finds in it is set against a harsh environment and the judgment of others. Dark and provocative, the novel suits readers of contemporary literary fiction and book-club discussions who are willing to engage with an unsettling relationship and difficult questions about love.
