A review by avocadoontoast
Ugly Love, by Colleen Hoover

1.0

This book is so full off bullshit, and no I don’t mean the 
Spoilerunrealistic, misogynistic sex scenes. No I mean the whole plod. Tate is the main character but really this book is just a biography of Miles Archer. 

SpoilerBy the way she is also perfect in her job, in nurse school and has a beautiful slim body even though she just eats shit and makes no sport, I know very relatable, right. But really she doesn’t feel like a person, because she has no self-driven actions she just does everything Miles wants her to do.
 

SpoilerMiles is just using her at his needs and is constantly braking her only rule and plays with her feeling for him. So Tate is in a toxic or even abusive relationship with him, where he is punishing her with distance and passive aggressive anger. Even whose she feels responsible for his mood swings. There is scene where she literally let him rape her, so that he can feel better. In what world do we live in???? And she is always forgiving his for his behavior and is patiently waiting until he wants to be with her.
 

SpoilerAnd Rachel is only described as beautiful and pregnant. What is she? An object? And also she was 17. Miles never asked her if she even wants to be pregnant he just says “we”, yes “we” will get through this. I mean easy to say for HIM. Also Colleen Hoover just left the part out where she is obviously pregnant, because as a teen this must be horrible. Imagine what her classmates will say about her behind her back and name her. She gets the shame because she is exposed with it.
 

This book should be forbidden. It romanticizes rape, sexism, stereotypes and many more.
