Ugly Love

✧My first Colleen Hoover Book Review ✧

Official Rating:⭐⭐



I'm giving this 2 stars because I like what this book could have been. It could have been a story about emotional healing and learning to love again. But I guess a healthy book is too much to ask from CoHo.

This book is a mess. I don't understand how people can find Ugly Love romantic. I wish people, including Colleen Hoover, understood that it's not up to romantic partners to solve a man's emotional problems.

My main issues with Ugly Love:

- What is with the weird ass step-sibling romance? Like CoHo what was going through your mind?
- Tate had no self-respect for the entire story. There were times when I couldn't read anymore because she just had no backbone.
- Miles desperately needed THERAPY. NOT “LOVE”.
- Most of the book is just depressing sex. I saw absolutely no actual chemistry/romance between Miles and Tate.
- Miles sucks. Tate sucks. I don't know why I should like either of them. They're just two sad, pathetic people.

Uff! I have been thinking about this review for some time... And to be honest I don't know if this book deserves 4 stars.
The backstory was super interesting and I was really invested in it, however the present was confusing and frustrating. I don't like when toxic relationship is romanticised and unfortunatly this one is one of those...
I recommend this to people who like this author and/or the series After.

I love all of Colleen Hoover's books and this one is no exception.
Tate is an independence young woman, except when it comes to Miles, her brother's tortured and complex best friend who lives across the hall.
Miles has a LOT of baggage from the past (and we get to see that in alternating points of view, with his 6 years earlier.)
A lot of steam in this one and I really wanted Miles to get his act together, which he finally does.
Another page turner from Colleen.
