Rezension von Laura DIch hab’s nach 100 Seiten abgebrochen, weil ich einfach nicht reinkam, obwohl die Story gut klang. Chat GPT hat mich über das Ende aufgeklärt, was auch spannend klang, daher lohnt es sich ggf dran zu bleiben. Für mich sind Themen wie Kindesmissbrauch aber einfach nicht lesenswert, auch, wenn sie wie in diesem Buch, nur gestreift werden.
Rezension von JanaPuuuuuuh, ich weiß nicht… vielleicht hatte ich zu hohe Erwartungen? Eine ziemlich verlassene Insel, ein Autor und seine verschwundene Frau - das klang für mich meeeeega. Den Plotttwist habe ich so nicht kommen sehen, aber irgendwie hat mir die Geschichte dann doch nicht ganz so gut gefallen 🙈. Trotzdem sicherlich ein lesenswertes Buch! 😊
Rezension von LarissaWow, wie gut war dieses Buch? Thriller x Feminismus?! Ich habe bisher erst ein Alice Feeney Buch gelesen und fand es ebenfalls genial. Das Buch war spannend und ein absoluter Pageturner. Es hat mich aber auch oft sauer gemacht. Wie gut aber wurde das bitte von der Autorin umgesetzt - ein Thriller mit sehr viel Female Rage. Ich fand es genial umgesetzt und das Ende?! 👌🏼
Rezension von Dr Malini BhatBeautiful Ugly is a sharp, unsettling psychological thriller that thrives on misdirection. Told through an unreliable narrator, the story slowly exposes the cracks in a seemingly tragic marriage, revealing manipulation, control, and buried truths beneath the surface. The remote island setting adds to the claustrophobic tension, and the twists force you to constantly rethink what you’ve been told. Dark, clever, and quietly satisfying, it’s a story about losing control of the narrative—and the cost of pretending to be the victim.
Rezension von Jackie Overman So good! I read this in 1 day because I juat couldnt stop!
