Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney
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.

I found this really hard to put down.
I honestly had no idea what was happening in this one. I did not expect the twist either. I always end up loving books like that. I won’t get into the plot much. I will say that the people on the island creeped me out. I felt bad for Grady at times, but I also didn’t really like him. I was happy that the book put chapters from Abby before she disappeared. I kept reading because I needed to figure out why Grady kept seeing her and what was actually going on with the island locals. I found the pacing to be good. There aren’t many likeable people in the book, but I was ok with that. It made it a bit more fun to read.
I gave this book 5 stars. Thank you to Edelweiss for my earc.
