All The Ugly and Wonderful Things





This is one of my top five books of 2016 and has a solid place in my heart and all time favorites.  I fell in love with Wavy and Kellen instantly.  Their characters are perfect, so flawed and tender in such a hard life.  They are everything to each other, salvation and punishment. The complexities of their relationship is laced with innuendo and shade, giving a glimpse into the mind of a child who must endure and employ very adult survival skills.  The character Kellen is so heartbreaking and pure, the atrocities that he committed only off set his love and devotion to Wavy.  My favorite scene is the Rubik Cube and the teacher, to me this is the perfect example of how society sees evil.  The hint of an improper relationship is heavyhanded and you the reader must push through the ugly to truly see the wonderful.
I am a fan Bryn Greenwood, more please.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read the wonderful book for a fair review.
