Beautiful Ugly, a psychological thriller that delves into the complexities of marriage, grief, and the elusive nature of truth. The story follows Grady Green, a bestselling author whose life unravels after his wife, Abby, disappears under mysterious circumstances. During a phone call, Grady hears Abby stop her car abruptly and then silence. Her car is later found abandoned near a cliff, but there's no sign of Abby. A year later, plagued by insomnia and unable to write, Grady retreats to the remote Scottish island of Amberly, seeking solace and inspiration. There, he encounters a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to his missing wife, leading him down a path of paranoia and self-doubt.
As Grady delves deeper into the island's secrets, he uncovers unsettling truths about Abby, their marriage, and the island's inhabitants. The narrative weaves between Grady's and Abby's perspectives, revealing hidden facets of their relationship and the events leading up to her disappearance.
Most of us were disappointed in the ending, although an enjoyable read there were too many inconcistency that annoyed us. The relationship between the protagonists was slightly unbeliveable.
