Book Review: Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover
So many people talk about this book. That’s why I was ecstatic to finally be able to review Ugly Love. Take Friends with Benefits and add a little more depth and you’ve got this novel. Thank you, Colleen Hoover, for always delivering novels that I devour in hours.
Book Information
Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover is the story of Tate, who is working so hard to get the job and life she’s always wanted. So when continuing school to get that job means she has to move in with her brother, she’s more than willing to make the leap. The only problem is that her brother has an extremely hot neighbor, Miles, who also happens to be her brother’s best friend. Miles is a tortured loner, who swears he will never love Tate, but when they make an agreement to have a relationship that is just sex, Miles and Tate find themselves torn between wanting something they can’t have and taking what they can. Even though Tate knows there’s a connection between them, something is holding Miles back, and he can’t love her because of it.
Review | Heidi Dischler
Oh, Colleen Hoover, you have stolen my heart so many times with your romance novels. Ugly Love is no different. I loved Tate and Miles and am usually not a fan of books that go in between what’s happening in the present and what happened in the past, Colleen Hoover executed it perfectly. I enjoyed the chapters about the past just as much as I enjoyed the ones about the present.
The plot was so well thought out that I never once questioned the plausibility of it or the characters’ motives. Have I mentioned that I love Colleen Hoover’s writing style? It’s just freaking beautiful.
Spoilers ahead.
Talk about a punch to the gut when you finally learn what happened to Miles to make him so tortured. Damn that hurt. It’s one of those instances where you can’t blame him for helping Rachel, and you can’t blame him for not being able to get his son out. I understand that Rachel felt like Miles could’ve saved the baby, but maybe he would’ve tried, and they all would’ve died.
Overall, my heart hurts after finishing Ugly Love, but it also feels good. Colleen Hoover has expertly written romance novel after romance novel and I have just found a new one to enter my top three favorites books written by her. Who am I kidding, they’re all in my top favorites.
