Beautiful Ugly: A Novel

"Her best book yet." --Harlan Coben
The million-copy bestselling Queen of Twists Alice Feeney returns with a gripping and deliciously dark thriller about marriage. . .
. . . and revenge.

Author Grady Green is having the worst best day of his life.

Grady calls his wife to share some exciting news as she is driving home. He hears Abby slam on the brakes, get out of the car, then nothing. When he eventually finds her car by the cliff edge the headlights are on, the driver door is open, her phone is still there. . . but his wife has disappeared.

A year later, Grady is still overcome with grief and desperate to know what happened to Abby. He can't sleep, and he can't write, so he travels to a tiny Scottish island to try to get his life back on track. Then he sees the impossible - a woman who looks exactly like his missing wife.

Wives think their husbands will change but they don't.
Husbands think their wives won't change but they do.

"Magnetic and jaw-dropping." --Mary Kubica, bestselling author
"Unforgettable." --Chris Whitaker, bestselling author

I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish! I was hooked from the beginning and thought it was a very easy read. I did love the build up and the clues that were given through the book, I was not 100% happy with the ending, but it raised a lot of theories for me. I loved the hidden message in the book! So Good!

It starts off with a bang, Graddy's wife goes missing and he has the writting slump for a year and then goes to an island as suggested by his agent. The island is creepy, tiny and has deep-dark secrets. It was a slow burn after that, it was like a lot is happening but the story is not going anywhere! I felt like it had a lot of things going on in the end; too melodramatic and complicated. Though the secret message was impressive never experienced something like that in any book; I litereally sat down turning pages to get the message right! I will give 1 star just for that part!

This was wild like I don’t even know how to process what happened now I’m finished. Unlike anything I’ve ever read but in the best way. 8/10
