Ugly Love definitely lived up to the hype it has been given. Although there was not a huge amount of plot and it was more the characters going back and forth with each other, it was written well and I was hooked. A nice, typical romance story with very complex characters. It tackles some really devastating topics which even though parts were very difficult to read, I'm glad it mentions them. My favourite moment was one of the last few chapters, where Miles visits Rachel to get some closure about their traumatic past. It was such a brilliant bit of writing and full of raw emotion.

Brother's best friend trope.

plot twist is kinda obvious

Didn't like the characters that much, I think they were fine.
That's why the average grade.

Tate let Miles tottaly use her and let him walk over her time after time. Plus what's up with the incest between rachel en miles. That was not necessary and kind of disgusting. 

 The whole plot is horrible and disgusting. The writing was good though, half a star for that.
