Ugly Love definitely lived up to the hype it has been given. Although there was not a huge amount of plot and it was more the characters going back and forth with each other, it was written well and I was hooked. A nice, typical romance story with very complex characters. It tackles some really devastating topics which even though parts were very difficult to read, I'm glad it mentions them. My favourite moment was one of the last few chapters, where Miles visits Rachel to get some closure about their traumatic past. It was such a brilliant bit of writing and full of raw emotion.
