Colleen Hoover

   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.

Ugly Love

Lenja

Thank you for this baby," she says from the backseat. "He's beautiful." only thing he got from me was his balls." «They're so big." I laugh. You're responsible for the beautiful part, Rachel. The She laughs. She laughs hard. “Oh, my God, I know," she says. We both laugh at our son's big balls.

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

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.

Luna

»It's the beautiful moments like these that make up for the ugly love.«

Cole Mae

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

Alesha Clifford

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.

“If you don't want a sarcastic answer, don't ask a stupid question.”

“Don't ask about my past. And never expect a future”

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

After Tate Collins and airline pilot Miles Archer agree to a no-strings attached relationship, they both have trouble sticking to the plan.

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.

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.
