i enjoyed theorising what had happened. some of my theories were way off the mark but most were spot on.
final thoughts: there was so much self-inflicted pain. these characters really need therapy.

After Verity and It Ends with Us, Ugly Love feels very shallow for a CoHo. For the most part of the novel, I didn't connect with the characters and their relationship. It was just a succession of sex scenes with a female character that I wanted to murder. Tate's complaining that Miles just wants to have sex with her when it was precisely their deal? Or the fact that she's annoyed by the Thursday's game night when it's not even her apartment? And the lack of self respect, like when they're having sex and Miles says the name of his ex and Tate is telling him to finish instead of slapping him and leave?
The last third of the book with Miles and Rachel's point of view is way better and I honestly wished Ugly Love were about them and not about Tate and Miles. I wished the Miles part were not entirely flashbacks but focusing a bit more on the present because I love this character and found it interesting.

"Maybe that's the rite of passage before you become a man—realizing your father doesn't have life figured out any more than you do."
Okay so this book-like all Colleen Hoover books-was absolutely insane (derogatory) and laughably unrealistic. But, it was also interesting and touching. People make fun of Colleen Hoover readers all the time because the writing is so elementary and the plot often simplistic. And like that's completely valid and true but also... it's fun?? Like lighten up a little people!!! Not every book has to be Dostoevsky, sometimes they can just be fun!!
This is gonna offend a lot of people probably, but CoHo books are comparable to Taylor Swift's music for me. They're kinda cringe and surface level, but theyre entertaining and at times strike a very deep chord! And there's a reason they both are so popular...because they're easily digestible and FUN, God dammit!

I don't like books that don't have cleaning up as part of the sex because it's very unrealistic LOL
Don't like that it keeps repeating words and names multiple times like come on it's weird especially when listening to audiobook. The author also wrote the characters as people who have obsession with words. Like repeatedly. It's very cringey.
Miles 6 years ago sounds like an obsessive creepy teenager. Also if he hasn't had sex for 6 years and the last time he had sex he was 18, he is now magically a master at sex?!?!
Tate is a doormat. Everything she did was so annoying. Like he literally said his ex's name while having sex and you still wanted him to finish and still wanted him to fell in love with you? PATHETICCCC

✨ SPOILER-FREE REVIEW! ✨
I’ve heard many different things about this book– some people loved it, some people hated it. I have to disagree with the latter, I absolutely LOVED this book. I devoured it and finished it in less than a day. This book had me ugly crying at 12 in the afternoon while I was eating lunch!
Ugly Love follows the story of 23 year old Tate Collins, who’s an RN currently in school for her Master’s Degree in Nursing. She moves in with Corbin– her brother, in San Francisco until she’s able to find a place for herself. Living just across the hall is Miles Archer, her brother’s friend from work. Miles works as a pilot alongside Corbin. After talking to him and being around Miles, they both realize their physical attraction for one another– which results in Tate and Miles agreeing to have a no-strings-attached sexual relationship. Miles made it clear with Tate that he does NOT want love, and tells her to not have hope or expect anything else from him. She agrees to his rules, even though she knew she would most likely develop feelings for him. She always held on to that little hope inside her that maybe Miles will finally come around & give them a chance at their happily ever after.
This book is probably the only book that had me SOBBING so hard, I swear! At first, I thought Miles was just being a complete asshole to Tate– but once I learned about his past & everything he’s been through, my heart literally SHATTERED. Miles has my heart forever!! His character was so vulnerable and he knows exactly what he wants. I’m so happy that he found his happiness in Tate & how Tate was the one who was able to help him realize how deserving he is of love.
Despite what ANYONE says, Colleen Hoover is 100% one of my favourite authors! I always DEVOUR her books so quickly & they always keep me hooked from beginning till the end!! And 9 times out of 10, Colleen has me ugly crying, no matter when & where I am while reading.
