It’s the beautiful moments like these that make up for the ugly love.

“Love isn’t always pretty, Tate. Sometimes you spend all your time hoping it’ll eventually be something different. Something better. Then, before you know it, you’re back to square one, and you lost your heart somewhere along the way.”

“Is it me specifically you don’t want to love, or is it love in general you don’t want to experience?” He pulls me away from his chest so he can look at me while he answers my question. “It’s love in general I don’t want, Tate. Ever. It’s you specifically that I just . . . want.”

“You ever heard that expression, ‘When life gives you lemons . . .’?” “Make lemonade,” I say, finishing his quote. Cap looks at me and shakes his head. “That’s not how it goes,” he says. “When life gives you lemons, make sure you know whose eyes you need to squeeze them in.”

The difference between the ugly side of love and the beautiful side of love is that the beautiful side is much lighter. It makes you feel like you’re floating. It lifts you up. Carries you. The beautiful parts of love hold you above the rest of the world. They hold you so high above all the bad stuff, and you just look down on everything else and think, Wow. I’m so glad I’m up here. Sometimes the beautiful parts of love move back to Phoenix. The ugly parts of love are too heavy to move back to Phoenix. The ugly parts of love can’t lift you up. They bring you D O W N. They hold you under. Drown you. You look up and think, I wish I was up there. But you’re not. Ugly love becomes you. Consumes you. Makes you hate it all. Makes you realize that all the beautiful parts aren’t even worth it. Without the beautiful, you’ll never risk feeling this. You’ll never risk feeling the ugly. So you give it up. You give it all up. You never want love again, no matter what kind it is, because no type of love will ever be worth living through the ugly love again.

Whoever coined the phrase, I love you to death obviously never experienced the kind of love Tate and I share. If that were the case, the phrase would be I love you to life. Because that’s exactly what Tate did. She loved me back to life.

   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.

Muy repetitivo, podria ser mas interesante.

I thought the whole Rachel and Miles thing was a bit odd and Miles and Tates relationship dragged for me. Not one of my favorites from Colleen 👎 

Lizzy Brabant

NO. If I could slap some sense into the female lead I would and what the fuck was up with the weird step sibling relationship shit?? A baby?! Big balls!? Brotha eurgh… I finished this in 2022 and it still haunts me.

Bree Orbe

I really liked this book it was a book about Tate and she starts a strict no strings attached relationship with miles she falls in love and after many no he finally falls in love too after not being able to love because of something in his past

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!

This book was so beautiful. I teared up multiple times and I can't wait for the movie

           Not the best but I also hated how quickly tate forgave him after the moaning Rachel's name scene like it honestly gave me the ick, it was an okay book and I wish there was kind of trauma with tate rather than her being perfect and him being troubled.

Izzy Davey

Liked, didn’t love. The last 3 chapters were the best in my opinion. It felt very longed out. But still, was a good read just took me longer than usual.

           This was such an amazing book and it was so fun to read and really good as a long read. Personally I love how it’s written in multiple perspectives and it gradually tells the backstory of Miles and it adds up so you have to carry on reading to understand the rest of the book.

The cover…
It all makes sense now
BYE I’M CRYING

wtf. i knew what I was getting myself into when I picked this up but…. wow. this was just so bad. basically soft porn every 3 pages and a fucked up story line (the last being intended- i know its not supposed to be a „feel good“ book). still- the writing style; the out of the blue unhinged things they say; some veeery problematic scenes. 

at least the ending kind of made up for it, maybe? still a no thank you from me

(also i predicted the „plot twist“ very early on, only from tates commentary and the book cover so… patting myself on the back? hm)

What an amazing and easy read! I finished it in half a day and read continously for hours and hours. The spice is *chef's kiss* and the characters are complex and real.

Uff! I have been thinking about this review for some time... And to be honest I don't know if this book deserves 4 stars. 
The backstory was super interesting and I was really invested in it, however the present was confusing and frustrating. I don't like when toxic relationship is romanticised and unfortunatly this one is one of those... 
I recommend this to people who like this author and/or the series After.
