It started out pretty cringy and read slightly like a bad fanfic but around half way through I found myself a lot more entertained by the book.
Coming from a younger sister, Corbin got on my nerves so much.

DO NOT OPEN THIS, THIS IS A SPOILER AND ONLY INTENDED TO EXPLAIN THE TRIGGER WARNINGS IN CASE ANYBODY NEEDS IT

there is a pretty major child (I’m talking new born) death in the book which is a big part of the plot of the book. I would be aware of that before going into it if it’s a trigger.

(SPOILERS !!)

Okay... so... the first like 70% of this book was... not good. sorry. But so much of it was just sex and the story wasn't progressing at all, we weren't learning anything about Miles' character and I was more interested in the Rachel storyline than the Tate one. I really really hated Miles throughout most of this book. He had no respect for Tate, he was rude asf, and he literally sexual abused her multiple times??? I didn't feel the chemistry between them, their dynamic was fucking strange. Did I cry for an hour straight reading this book? Yes, I did. Did I internally scream when Rachel revealed the name of her daughter? Yes, I did. Loved the ending but I can't get over Miles' character in the beginning bc it was incredibly strange and gross and misogynistic and IK ITS BC HE HAS TRAUMA but I can't get over it - he had no respect for Tate and I constantly felt like he was exploiting her for sex? bc he was. However, I gave it 4.25 stars bc I really liked the ending and Miles getting his closure. Okay.

xoxo, gossip girl.

I really really loved miles development but I still really hated Miles. I understand why he was as shitty cause of the twist but I feel like it's not much of an excuse.

Colleen Hoover is a great story teller. I've read enough of her books to know it and to keep reading everything that she writes. With that being said I did not fell in love with this story as I usually do.

Tell me you live a very toxic relationship without telling me that you live a very toxic relationship. This is the story behind Ugly Love. I understand Miles tragic past and in no way, shape or form I'm undermining the pain that something like that must change your life forever... and I also know that he defined pretty simples rules... but he is just a very idiot of a man. And Tate is a woman that can't stand up for herself and that annoys me. No man in this world is that good looking or that good in bed to make her endure such things.  Tate is a cliche of a woman that sees a broken man and wants to help him, change him... Girl, he told you exactly how things would happen and you got mad when things happened the ways he told you they would.

Ugly Love indeed.
