Ugly Love

Good quality

Whenever I come across Colleen Hoover, It is almost always yes, Ima read this because her books just invoke feelings in youThis really lives up to Ugly Love because from the moment Tate Collins and Miles Archer's meet to their relationship if it can even be called that and the past and hurt that was going around was toxic and left me feeling conflicted because a part of me was like this is a one-way ticket to mutual emotional destruction if that makes a lick of sense and the other half of me was like aww they really need a hug and a shoulder.When I finished this book I had this smile on my face from the idea that experiencing the bad and ugly parts of love and relationship can make you want to cherish it and think the world of the good times and amazing parts and that at the end of the day it is worthwhile.

The book arrived in perfect condition. I love the story. But i don’t recommend it for below 18 readers. Thank you, amazon! 💙

Its heart breaking but has a good end , definitely read this book

the book came undamaged and perfect! yay!

My first book from Colleen Hoover and I got more books of hers:) a bit dark and dramatic, but i could not stop reading it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

it was just like the picture, was safely delivered

I bought this book after watching it sit in the best selling sections. The plot is very poor but very well-written.

This was my second book i've read from this author, the other was ‘it ends with us’, and i did actually prefer this book more as i felt more angst and pain in this read than i did with the other.. i cried with this one and i never did with it ends with us.I really liked Miles, i adored his love story with his first love and found myself anxious to get to his chapters where he shared his past with rachel as i knew it must’ve been something so awful to pull them apart, that i wasn’t actually sure if i wanted to find out what it was that happened between them to end what they had.He was seriously smitten with her and she really was his everything.They both had a rare kind of love that hurt to think Tate would never get to experience that beautiful side of what Miles’ had to give, and even though she got something back from him in the end, we know it never really compared to what he gave to rachel. That side of his love, sweetness and romance seemed to be reserved for Rachel and Rachel alone, even Tate and Miles’ ending confirmed that for me and i don’t really know how i feel about that…I felt like Rachel and their baby still overshadowed Tate in everything she eventually got to share with Miles😞Something in Miles’ and Rachel’s love died and it brought darkness and resentment that in their young, slightly naive and immaturity (due to their age and life experience) i don’t think they would have ever been able to heal together and did prove to be something that needed to be worked on apart before they where able to give each other the closure they both needed and deserved.I didn’t really want to fall for the love story of Miles and Rachel because i knew they weren’t going to be end game but i really couldn’t help it. The more i read about them the more guilty i felt that i adored what they had ( i kind of felt like i was betraying Tate in a way, for thinking more of his other love story than i did for miles and hers) I really didn’t want to see that side of Miles and what he was capable of being like while in the present day he was disrespecting Tate so badly.I do feel like if Rachel was still an option, Miles would’ve always stood by her. That’s not to say that probably their love would never of turned to something dark and toxic based on the grief and anger they shared (rachel’s anger towards miles and miles’ anger towards himself) but i do believe that he still would’ve always stuck by rachel, even if what they had did turn to something unhealthy, he would’ve passionately loved her till the very end.It was Rachel who took the option of them ever moving forward together off the table.I wish we had more sweeter moments in miles and Tate’s build up. It was just all pushing and no pulling… Tate pushing for more with Miles and miles pushing away Tate.. until it was just Tate pushing and miles finally stopped pushing back and just started to except what she had to give.Even on their wedding day.. we didn’t really need to know he didn’t cry with happiness, that still could’ve been saved for the day of their baby’s birth but his happiness didn’t need to be down played in order to hype up his feelings for his arrival of baby number 2.i felt like the little we got of Tate and miles’ happy ending all got down played for that one moment at the end and they welcomed the baby arrival.Like the proposal was sweet but that’s all it was… sweet.i felt so much more emotion and passion in what he had to give to Rachel, it was sad we never got to see that with Tate too. We never got the emotional moment of appreciation towards Tate making him a father again, how it felt to see her as a first time mum in that moment, but we sure got all of that during Rachel and Miles’ moment in the hospital together.we got so much from the birth of his son and all we got from the birth of his daughter was him holding back yet again.just highlighting yet another special moment of admiration and appreciation he had for rachel that he seems to have just reserved for her alone and the type of relationship she had with him that Tate would never get a taste off.Miles seemed to be Tates first everything that truly matters in life, her first love, first marriage, first to experience the path of parenthood together.The wedding being something that was just theirs.. an experience just for them and something special between the two of them should’ve been so much more… especially if the birth of their first child together was going to be less personal to them and just another thing that gets over shadowed by his past and Rachel.Tate would’ve been feeling so much during that moment too, knowing he was holding back again during another intimate moment of theirs.. was just a bit crappy and it’s sad that he wasn’t the one to give the reassurance during that time when he gave rachel so much of it during their first baby’s birth😞 it was Tate yet again talking him round to allow himself to feel the moment.He had so many special moment with his first born, that was special to just him & Rachel, why couldn’t tate have that too?i just never felt that passion, admiration and happiness the second time around.He just always gave Rachel MORE..more when they metmore when they fell in lovemore when they became pregnantmore when they became a familyand finally more when they reunited for her to give him the much needed closure in order for him to be able to give himself the permission he thought he needed to even give Tate a chance.Even though i really did love this book..just like Tate deserved, i feel like we deserved and needed more of them together!and maybe a little less of Rachel and Milesbut 100% more of Miles and Tatebecause in the end i felt more sorry for what Rachel and miles lost than happiness for what Miles gained in having Tate🥺i felt like the author was so careful to not downplay what Rachel and Miles shared and experience that she downplayed too much of Tate and miles’ relationship and that’s such a shame because after what Miles went through.. his happy ending deserved to be so much MORE too❤️

Miles & Tate“God gives us the ugliness so we don’t take the beautiful things in life for granted.”This is my favorite Colleen Hoover book. Have I read all of them? No.. I've only read about 12 of her backlist. But this book got me right in the feelers and I had to reread it a couple of times. It's such a beautiful story and made my emotions go all over the place. I felt love, sadness, heartbreak, humor... I felt it all. There's also a crazy sexual tension from the beginning of the book that continues throughout until the end. I was so ready to fall in love and have my heart broken simultaneously.***Miles***Miles is a mysterious guy right from the start. Why is he so quiet? Why doesn't he date? He's the guy you'd love to solve and put back together. Maybe he shuts out the world because of his painful past... either way, he's this sexy, career driven pilot, who's also your brother's best friend.“If I were capable of loving someone . . . it would be you.”***Tate***Tate is a great character that's more like an open book. She's just trying to get through med school and have a little fling on the side. The last thing she expects is to fall for anyone. She's the exact girl you were friends and could feel she had a brother because of how cool her personality is. By the way, I loved Corbin. You're just on a journey with her as she explores her own emotions and tries to deal with life in general. We've all been there, right?“I didn’t fall in love with you… I flew.”Overall this book had a gut-wrenching crescendo and will forever live rent free in my brain. I read it twice to try and get Miles and Tate out of my system. I'm actually due soon for another read. Miles is one of my book boyfriends and Tate is a book girlfriend and I miss their world.

The book focuses on two people, Tate and Miles, who are mutually attracted to each other and do not want more than one night stands. Tate is busy with her life and wants hook up's while Miles doesn't want commitment and wants to be physically with Tate. Somewhere in the middle of the book, feelings turn real and that forms the rest of the story.The book actually didn't excite me as much as I wanted it to. That made me cut off a star. Tate's character wasn't a strong one and she just kept rooting for Miles and had conflicting emotions most of the time. Miles had his share of his heart breaking past and somehow the writing didn't justify his actions. Apart from these drawbacks, the writing is neat and crisp, emotions are conveyed well, the story progress is good, Miles' character was realistic and his vulnerability was shown well.Overall, the book's main theme covers fake dating, heartbreak and slow burn romance. Some of the romance scenes were too many and too much and I had to skip few pages. A good book but may not be everyone's cup of tea.

I haven’t read a book in years. Kids schedules, work, and housework has kept me from reading. I was recommended this book by a friend who reads all.the.time. I’m so glad she recommended it! I read this in less than 48 hours. I could not put it down!Without giving away too much it this book..Colleen Hoover has written such a fantastic book about lust, sex, jealousy, frustration, disappointment, friendship, anger, cry, laugh,, etc.She is really graphic and makes you fell like you are a fly on the wall. Watching every move of two strangers as they meet and can not stay away from each other. There is one problem…one only wants sex while the other wants more. More than the other can give to them. But they do not know why someone can love so hard but does not want to love the other.Who does not have skeletons in the closet?!? So many secrets happened in the past which makes you guessing throughout the whole book.This book really makes you think about your past and what your future can be if you really let go of it.I highly recommend this novel!

I was reading this book and may I mind you it is smutty but other than that it is so touching and sweet and the way their love evolved throughout the story is amazing and so loving I love that we know so much about the characters and miles backstory to sum it up the book is so good and I definitely recommend!!
