Beautiful Ugly is undeniably bold—atmospheric, unsettling, and full of surprises. If you enjoy narratives that keep you off-balance, reveling in uncertainty, Feeney delivers. But if your preference is for tightly coherent storytelling, with twists that align logically with character and plot, the ending might feel jarring or unsatisfying. A psychological thriller with a twisty, unsettling core that clearly left you scratching your head (and not just because of confusion).
