All the Ugly and Wonderful Things


 
“All the Ugly and Wonderful Things” by Bryn Greenwood
Published by Thomas Dunne Books (St Martin’s Press)
 
The 1st half of this book introduces you to a sweet and innocent relationship between a young girl in need of an adult in her life to love and take care of her and a man is his mid-20s who does just that.  The 2nd half of this book takes an uncomfortable turn.  At one point, I truly didn’t want to keep reading but I did because I needed to know how this troubled young girl’s life turned out.  She had such a horrible childhood, you just wanted her to find true happiness and safety.  It’s well written and I gave it 3 stars, but I have such mixed feelings about it that I don’t know that I can recommend it.
 
Finished 7/9/25 – 3/5 stars
