• All the Ugly and Wonderful Things by Bryn Greenwood has achieved great success, being listed as a New York Times and USA Today bestseller, as well as winning the Book of the Month Club 2016 Book of the Year. It also placed second in the Goodreads Best Fiction of 2016.

• This novel tells the story of Wavy, the daughter of a drug dealer, who learns early on not to trust anyone, not even her own parents. She takes care of her younger brother, Donal, being the only responsible adult in their troubled lives. Wavy finds solace in the night sky and its constellations, until an accident changes everything. Witnessing a motorcycle crash leads her to form an unlikely bond with Kellen, one of her father's associates, who despite his past as an ex-convict, shows her kindness.

• As Wavy grows into a teenager, her relationship with Kellen becomes the only source of tenderness in a world filled with addiction and chaos. When a tragedy strikes her family, an aunt steps in, but the love between Wavy and Kellen is seen as inappropriate by society. All the Ugly and Wonderful Things challenges conventional beliefs about love and will leave a lasting impact on its readers.

• The novel has garnered praise from various sources, such as being included in Bustle's list of 31 Books Bringing the Heat this Summer and the New York Daily News' Top Ten Hottest Reads of 2016. It has also been recognized as one of the Best Books of 2016 by the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
