Beautiful Bad is a psychological thriller that centers around three people, Maddie, Jo and Ian. All three spend a lot of time in war torn areas of the world. Jo is Maddie’s best friend, Ian sooner or later ends up married to Maddie and they end up having a son named Charlie. The story starts with Maddie looking for a writing therapist because she has extreme anxiety issues after a fall while camping with her husband leaves her face disfigured.

The story pulls you in as you meet the characters and try and understand their relationships. It continually goes back and forth through time but isn’t difficult to follow. The plot is well designed and in the end you will never guess what’s coming. The author definitely reached her goal for what she intended.

I really enjoyed the majority of this book, but was left very disappointed with the ending. I believe the book is need the way the author intended but was not an ending I enjoyed. I was left feeling disappointed and disgusted at the end. If you are looking for a happy ending this is not the book for you. If you enjoy psychological thrillers that are well written and don’t mind an indifferent ending you will love this book.
