For anyone looking for a romance novel filled with the battle of insecurities of an unstable, rocky relationship, this is a good read for you. Ugly Love portrays the ugly side of a relationship, something often amiss in contemporary novels. What happens when one is emotionally unavailable in a relationship yet desires physical activities with their partners. Are they to be blamed for being emotionally unavailable due to past traumas and hurt that remains a secret to their partners? What is the extent of using one to relieve their sexual desires without committing to the emotional aspects of a relationship? No strings attached, is it truly easy to achieve or does it always leaves one tangled in emotions? Ugly Love explores how grief, trauma and hurt seep into a relationship, causing one to drown in their own battle with Love.
