Bryn Greenwood wrote All The Ugly and Wonderful Things. I think this is a good title because this novel has ugly and wonderful in it. The book is provocative and not for everyone. The main character is Wavy who starts off as an abandoned 8 year old girl whose aunt takes her in. Wavy doesn't talk and she doesn't eat in front of other people. She wanders away at night. Her aunt doesn't think Wavy is a good example to her two girls so Wavy goes off to live with her Grandmother. Eventually Wavy's mother comes to take her home and when she does Wavy learns she now has a baby brother. Wavy's mother is mentally ill and a drug abuser. Her father runs a meth lab. One of her father's thugs, Kellen, is 20 years old and when he meets Wavy, he sees how broken she is so he decides to help her. The story will break your heart because it is powerful and shocking, ugly and wonderful.
