Whew! Colleen Hoover has done it again, Ladies and Gents! Hoover writes such powerful love stories that are such an emotional roller-coaster but you don't ever want to get off the ride. She makes you fall in love with characters but breaks your heart with their back stories.
Ugly Love is all about how love can be the most beautiful thing you can experience and the most ugly. Tate and Miles are two characters that go into a relationship just for the physical aspects. What they do not expect is the emotional toll it can take on both of them. Tate is locked into this relationship wanting more than Miles is willing to give; not because he doesn't want to, but because he feels he can't because of his past.
For fans who read the story, I was a little disappointed that Dillon didn't have much to in the plot. He was only there for, like, three scenes but even so, I felt like Hoover developed his character so well that he could have been a major player in how Tate and Miles' relationship panned out. I'm still a little puzzled at why Hoover didn't include him as much as I felt he should have been included.
Like I said before, this book is a roller-coaster of emotions. The heartache that attacks these characters is so two-sided. The book is mainly in Tate's point of view on her current relationship with Miles. But every other chapter you get a glimpse at 18-year-old Miles and how the events he encountered shaped him into the man that Tate is dealing with in present day. With Miles' "ugly love" running so deep into his past, I can see how it took him forever to warm up to Tate and why he was reluctant to continue their relationship. But I felt like his visit to Phoenix really helped his character overcome major obstacles.
This book was such a great book, as are all of Hoover's. I finished this book in about three hours and it was a three hour read well-spent!

Holy
hell
my
HEART!
I felt it, all of it.
The words, the feelings, the loss, the love.
Can a book really do that to somebody?
Oh wait..this one just did.

Good read! It keeps you going and not wanting to put it down.
A very quick read. Keeps you interested all the way through. Not really predictable, but no great surprises either.
