Creo firmemente que Miles tenia estrés postraumático y que tenia que ir al psicólogo

Ugly Love was a very readable book, but it was a bit of a mixed experience for me. It was easy to get into and I finished it quite quickly, but I never fully connected with either of the main characters. The story itself felt a bit weaker compared to other books I have read, and at times it felt like it relied more on emotional impact than on a strong or complex plot. At the same time, it was surprisingly addictive. Even though it was quite predictable and definitely a typical romance, I still found it very easy to keep reading and not put it down. It has that kind of writing that just pulls you through the pages without much effort. I also found the pacing a bit stretched out. There were not many twists for my taste, and the story felt quite simple overall. It is definitely a slow burn romance, which I did not really expect going into it, and that influenced my reading experience quite a bit. Despite its flaws, I did get emotionally invested towards the end, and I even cried, which shows it did have some impact on me. It is more of a quick, emotional read than a deeply complex story. Overall, it is an easy romance to read in one sitting. Not perfect, not very surprising, but still emotional and engaging enough to keep me turning the pages.

   When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows it isn’t love at first sight. 
   They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. 
   He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.

   Never ask about the past.
   Don’t expect a future.

   They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all.

   Hearts get infiltrated.
   Promises get broken.
   Rules get shattered.
   Love gets ugly.

it’s always easy and quick to realize you’re reading Colleen Hoover, her good flow is always there. However, Ugly Love is a bit repetitive, and the boom in the final chapters is sad, of course, but nothing compared to Verity or It ends with us, in my opinion. Still a good reading.

Okay but Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover?? Literally finished it in a day. Absolutely wrecked me in the best way possible. The spice?? Top tier. Like actually insane — she wrote it so well that I had to put the book down just to scream into a pillow. But beyond that, the writing literally reached into my chest, ripped my heart out, stomped on it, and then somehow made me fall even more in love with the story. It’s raw, it’s heartbreaking, it’s beautiful, and I SOBBED. Like ugly crying, fitting for the title. I’m obsessed. Definitely one of those books that makes you feel every single emotion at full volume. 10/10 recommend if you want your heart shattered and your soul set on fire.

I’m not crying, you’re crying!!!! Being able to read Miles’s past and fully understand his reasoning for the wall he puts up was enlightening!! This is such an emotional read that I’m having a hard time putting it into words!! But it was soooo freaking good!! Definitely recommend!!

Written with a present day POV from the FMC and a past POV from the MMC with a few present day from him at the end. This felt weird in the beginning bouncing back and forth but it really helped me understand Tate and Miles so much better. Keep in mind when reading the Miles chapters that he is a teenager in them and it will make more sense. 

Miles holds so much pain in his heart from his first relationship and Tate can see this from day one and falls for him despite it. She is his anchor and he definitely needed her. I thought for certain the strictly sex only deal was going to be a hard to sell love story for me but somehow it all worked. 

The Rachel chapter did me in. 💔💔💔 I think I needed to see her happy just as much as Miles did. 

Love really is ugly but it has its beauty too. It’s pain and happiness felt with equal parts. Doesn’t make it easy but it is worth it. I loved this book!
