tHE ROMANCE REVIEWER
Ugly Love
Author: Colleen Hoover
Reading Ugly Love is like signing up for a casual fling nothing too serious and accidentally out of nowhere stumbling into a full-blown emotional hurricane. You go in thinking, “Oh, it’s just a friend with benefits situation, nothing too serious” and suddenly boom you’re frustrated and angry at 2 a.m. over a fictional character whose name is Miles, and he refuses to talk about his feelings.
Tate is a smart, relatable character who definitely deserves a therapist more than a pilot boyfriend with a tragic backstory. Miles? Sir, I get it, you’ve been through a lot, but maybe try talking instead of assuming that we are magicians and can read your mind.
That said, the chemistry is so spicy like when I tell you the chemistry between these two is like I’m constantly interrupting them, the tension is so ughh like I wished there was a sequel to this book, and Colleen Hoover has this way with writing tensions between her characters like it’s her superpower. Yes, I rolled my eyes a few times on certain scenes, but I also couldn’t stop flipping the pages with hope that Miles would finally get his shit together.
Bottom line: It’s messy, it’s steamy, but all the right ways and I loved it. Hoover really said, “Let me give you love, trauma, and a shirtless pilot” and honestly? I respect that.
rate : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – love, lust, and emotional damage: a hoover classic or am I lying?
