This book was absolutely amazing. It made me have all the emotions especially in the last about 100 pages. I was bawling my eyes out at the end so grab tissues. The cover of the book is so traumatizing now.

 < spoiler> Lots of unnecessary sex <spoilers>
I felt bored reading the book, it didn’t grab my attention. Nor was I a fan of Tate being emotionally used by Miles. There was no growth between the two characters. The growth didn’t happen throughout the story either.

Colleen Hoover is a great story teller. I've read enough of her books to know it and to keep reading everything that she writes. With that being said I did not fell in love with this story as I usually do.

Tell me you live a very toxic relationship without telling me that you live a very toxic relationship. This is the story behind Ugly Love. I understand Miles tragic past and in no way, shape or form I'm undermining the pain that something like that must change your life forever... and I also know that he defined pretty simples rules... but he is just a very idiot of a man. And Tate is a woman that can't stand up for herself and that annoys me. No man in this world is that good looking or that good in bed to make her endure such things.  Tate is a cliche of a woman that sees a broken man and wants to help him, change him... Girl, he told you exactly how things would happen and you got mad when things happened the ways he told you they would.

Ugly Love indeed.
