Ugly Love

   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.

i was literally shook reading these few pages.

“ I've always heard your life flashes before your eyes in the moments before you die. In a sense, that's true. However, it doesn't come at you in sequence or even in a random order. It's just one picture that STICKS in your head and becomes everything you feel and everything you see. lts not your actual life that flashes before your eyes. What flashes before your eyes is the people who are your life. “

“ Love isn't always pretty, Tate. Sometimes you spend all your time hoping iť'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. "

Gina-Sophie Franz

You never want to love again, no matter what kind it is, because no type of love will ever be worth living through the ugly love again.

If I were capable of loving someone … it would be you.

When you like to kiss someone because of who she is, the difference isn't found in the pleasure.... the difference is found in the pain you feel when you're not kissing her.

...and put on just enough makeup to make it look like I didn't put on any makeup at all. And fix my hair to make it look like I didn't fix my hair at all.

The guy who figures this out about me and know me this well, will be the man I fall for.

Sometimes my silence is saying.....I don't know how to speak to you. I don't know what your thinking. Talk to me. Tell me everything you've ever said. All the words. Starting from your very first one.

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.

I can't see anything where she won't be my everything

No, Miles. I follow. That’s how it is with us. You’re solid, I’m liquid. You part the waters, I’m your wake

We look into each other’s eyes ... and we completely shatter rule number two

Xante Jacques

He's touching me everywhere, nowhere, not at all, all at once.

“I hope you taste like orange juice again.”

“Well, you’re definitely not gay,” someone says from behind us. 

I’m not Tate when I’m near Miles. I’m liquid, and liquid doesn’t know how to be firm or stand up for itself. Liquid flows. That’s all I want to do with Miles.

It’s funny how he refuses to make eye contact during sex yet can’t seem to keep his eyes off me the rest of the time.

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.

My God, why did I read that?

I devoured this book in one sitting. I was hooked from the start. This broke my heart in a way I was not expecting to have my heart broken.

Danielle Annika

I have a lot of mixed feeling about this book. First, I loved the story and the ending was something my traumatized ass needed to hear. However, to me, the way Tate fell for miles was so cliche and there were a lot of moments that had me thinking, “wtaf????”

“I don’t care if you drink my juice, Tate.”
Oh, wow.
That was an oddly sexy sentence. So was his presence in delivering it.”

LIKE GIRLL????? PUT YOURSELF TOGETHER!!!

Anywayyyy, around the 30th chapter things started getting interesting, and whenever I thought things couldn’t get any worse, they did. The chapter about Miles and Rachel was heartbreaking and so cruel. I also loved how CoHo switched between POVs so you could see the parallels between Rachel and Tate.

so powerful

This book and its storyline and characters are so real. I was transported to their lives living it with them. Absolutely recommend this book to everyone.

"God gives us the ugliness so we don’t take the beautiful things in life for granted.”

I have nothing much to say about this other than I quite enjoyed this book a little more than I thought I would, considering a very mixed reviews I read about this. Maybe not the best Colleen Hoover books I've ever read, but it did made me feels things that was only appropriate to feel reading this. Despite having issues with the way Miles acted the whole time, and how pathetic Tate had been doing for love, I successfully got passed through all of that. Those qualities are personally what makes the story flawed yet interesting, though. A quite good read!!

Sonia Grgas

It was OK, nothing earthshaking. I just don't get all the Hoover hoopla...

I couldn’t put it down when I started reading fell in love with it & I wanna read it again soon.

Honestly, I felt that it was a little slow and when it got to the point I was no longer shocked but that doesn't take away from the fact the storyline is heartbreaking.

Elizabeth Van Deusen

I am not a seasoned book girly but I love a good page-turning romance novel and this book was just that! Colleen Hoover delivers a contemporary ("spicy") romance novel that had me start and finish this book in one day with a satisfying ending.

Ellen Sjögren 

this book was like a badly written fan fiction, I can’t believe so many people love it or even like it 💀 if u recommend this book I can’t trust anything that comes out of ur mouth <3 giving it 1 star was generous

When I read this book for the first time I LOVED IT(it was my first romance book) but when I reread it I was like nahhh this is not 5 stars.

re-lectura en inglés. 5/5 igual q la primera vez que lo leí.

ok this book is by far one of my new favorites!! it takes you on a rollercoaster and i loved (sometimes hated) every minute of it. I will say i am left pretty heartbroken by it cause i stared at a blank wall for hours but i have no regrets. Because with this book “I didn’t fall in love with you, I flew” 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

it was good but kinda disappointing. i would be way more mad if i was corbin and the whole step siblings piece is so weird😭. the smut is also really cringy but it’s a good book overall, just basic/slow.

hi..hello! it’s me, back with a book review 💁🏼‍♀️

I smashed through this one in 2 sittings, it had me hooked from the start! I loved the alternating chapters between then and now timelines, probably one of my favourite writing methods cos it helps move the story along so well.

I’m not a big CoHo fan and don’t particularly like her as a person, but I have had this on my tbr for some time and I have one more left on my tbr which I will read eventually.

I enjoyed Miles and Tate as main characters, more so than some of her other characters she’s written! they were very realistic, with refreshing stories. it’s a brothers best friend, friends with benefits trope, it’s not overly romance-y. I personally always find that CoHo has an underlying message in her books and this one definitely is about different types of love and how to move on from an ugly love.

3.5/5
Truth? I was somewhat disappointed in this book. I felt semi uncomfortable as I read it, although part of that was because of the actual beginning plot which is explained in the book description, however I also just felt weird in regards to the relationship between Miles and Rachel. I will say though that I absolutely loved Cap and I did become invested in both Tate and Miles and the reason behind Miles pain. Because I was conflicted with my feelings on this book, I’m only giving it a 3.5 rating.

my book club chose this. i did not read this by choice
