Why read it?
1 author picked Everything Beautiful Is Not Ruined as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This story surprised me. I didn’t expect what this book had to offer. You get a lot of the story and the main character Ingrid’s voice through letters that she writes to her mom.

From Gabi's list on books that capture the tender moments while growing up under difficult circumstances.
