Book Squad Goals

BSG #7: Hello, Infant / All the Ugly and Wonderful Things


Listen Later

Find out what happens when the whole Book Squad finally agrees on a book! (As Kelli says, now we know "what we can all get on board with.") This week the Squad discusses Bryn Greenwood's "All the Ugly and Wonderful Things," and questions their own morals as they root for a very problematic relationship to succeed. Listen as they dissect Wavy and Kellen's relationship, the book's varying POVs, and why they're mostly happy for Wavy in the end. Plus, the Squad answers "IT" questions and talks about other horror movies. Don't forget to enter our "Borne" giveaway! Simply rate, review and email us!
