Heather Brush asked Bryn Greenwood:

I loved All the Ugly and Wonderful Things. I adored Wavy; my heart broke for her at least ten times. Just had to say, Brenda was such a bitch. Thank you for writing this novel!!!!?

Bryn Greenwood It makes me sad when people hate Brenda. To me, Aunt Brenda is the face of our society. She has good intentions. She wants to do what's right for Wavy, but unfortunately, she doesn't have the will or the willingness to sacrifice her own comfort to intervene, until there's actually a crisis. It doesn't make her a bad person, just a fairly average one.

Not really a question?... just a comment that I see a lot of me & my "not normal" upbringing. I felt somewhat connected here. Thanks. I enjoyed it very much.

Xu Yuanxi asked Bryn Greenwood:

Hi! I come from China and I am very touched by all the wonderful and ugly things in AtUaWT. Basically I can read all of the story but there are a few words that I tried hard yet failed to understand. In the Acknowledgments you mentioned "Purgatorians, Lurkers, Pitizens, and the indomitable YNots." Are these the names of some people? It would be greatly appreciated if you explain them to me, one by one, if possible.

Hi! I would love to read your book "All the ugly and wonderful things" but the Kindle edition is not available in Europe and I am based in Ireland. Do you know if it will in the future?
