This book was HOT, first of all 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Let that be known. 18+!!

I loved this book. I loved how all of the hot guys were pilot, as my husband is a pilot (so I’m massively biased). The sexual and romantic tension is SO AGONIZING, Hoover is so good at creating that. 

Read this if you love the brooding, mysterious, sad boy trope, bad boys, or forbidden love.

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.
