Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
3.5 stars rounded up.
This book was fun and interesting to read all the way to the end when it gets weird and unbelievable and then the very end which is even weirder and hard to understand.
But aside from that, it’s super fast paced and all you’re trying to understand the whole time is what happened, who took Grady’s wife? What’s up with the island he’s visiting? Is that his wife? What do all the people seem to know besides the reader?
It’s creepy but not too much, it’s intense but not too much, the characters are unlikeable but not too much (until the end) so you just keep turning those pages (or listening in my case) just to find out what is going on.
The audio narration was excellent and kept me on my toes the whole time. I loved the sound effects too!
with gratitude to netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review
