Ugly Love
by Colleen Hoover
I give this book 4 stars. Overall, the book kept my attention and I finished it in two days. However, I do have some complaints. I had a love-hate relationship with the chapters from Miles’s POV from 6 years ago. I loved them as they were short and they also gave us some backstory into who he was/what trauma he dealt with in the past to make him who he is today. However, I hated the way they were actually written. These chapters were written in a way that tried to sound and look like poetry and gave off a “trying too hard” impression or something, but the writing also just sounded very juvenile and repetitive in parts. I understood Tate’s conflicted feelings and how she felt she couldn’t seem to stop herself from falling for Miles even though he didn’t treat her the greatest (a lot of us have been there when we were younger), however, the way he treated her and the was she just took it from him did annoy me. The same routine of them not talking/communicating at all, then having sex, then he does something to hurt her, then repeat over and over was starting to get old towards the end. I will say this is one of the few books that has made me tear up though. It also made me happy to see Miles at the end finally starting to heal from his trauma and treat Tate the way she deserves to be treated.
