But amid all the very ugly things in the world these two inhabit (very, very ugly), their connection is the only wonderful thing they have. It is a strange sensation to be rooting for a little girl and the much older thug who goes beyond rescuer to become her lover. Wavy is so starved for love and affection that her heart opens to Kellen, and Kellen cannot help but enter into the relationship she offers him. An unlikely rescuer appears in the shape of Kellen, the hired muscle at the lab, an over-sized misfit just as damaged as Wavy-but more than twice her age. When we first meet her, she is just a child, already deeply scarred by mistreatment at the hands of her drug-addled mother and drug-producing father. Her circumscribed world is woefully bereft of anything wonderful her short life has been a daisy chain of abuse, abandonment, and hopelessness. Wavy is the daughter of a man who runs the meth lab. Bryn Greenwood's pristine, evocative writing is perfect for creating this deeply hypnotic tale about love found in the most unlikely of places-a backwoods meth lab in the rural Midwest. Prepare yourself for one of the strangest but also one of the most genuine, and unforgettable, love stories you'll ever read.
