Maddie, Ian and Jo have an interesting story that will keep you guessing through most of the book. I was not sure what to expect when I started reading, but I would highly recommend to fans of Gillian Flynn. Beautiful Bad shows the dark side of a person and how it all can come crashing in on you. Maddie and Ian meet in a stressful time and have alot of near misses to get to each other. This is alot like an unreliable narrator books, even though she is not because of all her manipulation. The truth does come out with plenty of time for the story to wrap up and find closure. I am so glad that Netgalley and Harlequin granted me the oppurtunity to read this and share my thoughts on my reading experience.
