“Levchuk does a remarkable job of writing a novel that deftly balances the facts on the pages with the unspoken emotion underneath.” —Starred, Booklist

“An . . . ultimately rewarding read by a debut author who is going places.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Debut author Levchuk creates a distinctive and memorable voice for Edna--her hidden concerns and her secrets come to make emotional sense for readers as Edna begins to understand and move past them, while her wit and wry candor hint at a reserve of deep, even flinty optimism.” —STARRED, Publishers Weekly

“Edna's narrative is fascinating. She is funny and scathing, naïve and complicated, and her confessions are frequently surprising for their unadulterated frankness. Her voice is so engrossing that the book is difficult to put down.” —VOYA

“Sharp, edgy, and amazingly funny. Best first novel I've read in years.” —Anita Shreve, author of The Pilot's Wife and Fortune's Rocks

“This heartbreaking coming-of-age novel tells the story of life as an adolescent and the tough choices that come along with it. Powerful and engaging, Edna struggles to learn about herself, love, moving on, and what it means to be scared of the unknown.” —ALAN Online Picks

“I found Everything Beautiful in The World to be everything a book should be: heartbreaking, funny, brave, and unforgettable. I was enthralled with Edna, her confessions, and her bravado. To create a character who is all at once flawed, defiant, remorseful, utterly sympathetic, and wryly profound is a breathtaking literary feat.” —Elinor Lipman, author of The Inn At Lake Devine and Then She Found Me

“This is a vivid picture of a girl who's floating through life out of fear of what she'll find if she stops.” —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

“This is a book that shows you that even bad things turn out beautiful in the end.” —A YALSA YA Galley Teen Reader
