From Matthew Quick, bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook , comes a heartfelt, unconventional and moving novel for readers who love John Green and Annabel Pitcher. Nanette O'Hare is an unassuming teen who has played the role of dutiful daughter, hard-working student, and star athlete for as long as she can remember. But when a beloved teacher gives her his worn copy of The Bubblegum Reaper - the mysterious, out-of-print cult-classic - the rebel within Nanette awakens. As she befriends the reclusive author, falls in love with a young but troubled poet, and attempts to insert her true self into the world with wild abandon, Nanette learns the hard way that sometimes rebellion comes at a high price. A celebration of the self and the formidable power of story, Every Exquisite Thing is Matthew Quick at his finest.

Matthew Quick
Matthew Quick era professor na Filadélfia, mas decidiu largar tudo e, depois de conhecer a Amazônia peruana, viajar pela África Meridional, trilhar o caminho até o fundo nevado do Grand Canyon, reviu seus valores e, enfim, passou a dedicar todo seu tempo à escrita. Ele, então, fez MFA em Creative Writing pelo Goddard College e voltou para a Filadélfia, onde mora com a esposa. Quick é autor de três romances além de O lado bom da vida e Perdão, Leonard Peacock, e recebeu várias críticas elogiosas e importantes menções honrosas, entre as quais destaca-se a do PEN/Hemingway Award.
