Everything Beautiful Is Not Ruined by Danielle Younge-Ullman

4.0

 Stumbled on this in a library that has few English books. This is the complicated YA I look for. Nuanced, visceral, the slime and camaraderie of the camp, the demon and and angel that was her mother, with whom I was both angry (it's no way to grow up, walking on eggshells) at and devastated for; mental illness is an assassin, she was trapped and lost, talking about it doesn't solve it, and it doesn't surprise me she did what she did. Much better than the maudlin Breakfast Club movie (Don't You by Simple Minds is the best, though!).

One star lost because of the ending. It was rushed, and after what Ingrid had endured, now Isaac? Eh. Oh, and did she lay charges against Bob the pervert?
