This book was simply brilliant, and no, it is not about a pedophile. It begins when Wavy is just 5 years old and ends when she is 21.What can I say about Wavy. She was a beautiful, broken, fragile yet incredibly strong child. Born into neglect and abuse in the back seat of a strangers car. Her mother, a mentally unstable junkie, was in and out of her life. Her on again off again father operates a meth lab. It was their parenting skills that taught Wavy it was best to never speak, and made her unable to tolerate being touched. People tend to think something is wrong with her, that she is mentally challenged, but there is a mind as sharp as a tack behind that wall of silence. There is also a fierce love for her baby brother who she does her best to protect and take care of.
She is still only a child when she meets Kellen after witnessing his motorcycle accident. Kellen is a young man with a hot temper, a criminal history, and a heart of gold. When he sees the conditions Wavy is living in, he makes it his mission to help her as best he can. As others begin to view their relationship as unnatural, they are beginning to fall in love.
The story is told through the point of view of multiple characters, which helps to see that what is ugly is in the eye of the beholder, and one person's ugly is another person's wonderful.
5 out of 5 stars from me.
