A lovely and provocative love tale between two unlikely people and the hard-won romantic relationship that elevates them above the Midwestern meth lab backdrop of the lives. As the princess of a medicine dealer, Wavy is aware not to trust people, not her own parents. It's safer to keep her mouth shut and stay out of view. Struggling to raise her little brother, Donal, eight-year-old Wavy is the only liable adult around. Enthusiastic about the constellations, she detects serenity in the starry nights sky above the domains behind her house until one nights her stargazing triggers an accident. After witnessing his street bike wreck, she forms an unusual camaraderie with one of her father's thugs, Kellen, a tattooed ex-con with a heart of silver. By the time Wavy is a teenager, her romantic relationship with Kellen is the only tender part of a brutal world of addicts and debauchery. When tragedy rips Wavy's family apart, a well-meaning aunt steps in, and what's beautiful to Wavy appears unpleasant under the scrutiny of the outside world. A robust novel you will not soon ignore, Bryn Greenwood's All the Ugly and Wonderful Things challenges all we know and imagine about love.
