Colleen Hoover’s “Ugly Love” is a beautiful and heart-wrenching story about love, loss, and the power of forgiveness.
This novel is a masterpiece of contemporary romance that captures the essence of what it means to love someone with everything you have, even when it hurts.
The story is narrated from dual perspectives, alternating between the present-day chapters from Tate’s point of view and the past chapters from Miles’ point of view. Miles is a pilot who has closed himself off from love and relationships after a tragic event in his past. He meets Tate, a young nurse who has just moved into his apartment complex, and the two develop a relationship that is both beautiful and complicated.
Hoover’s writing is simply magical. She has a way of putting words together that is both poetic and relatable. Her characters are well-developed and incredibly detailed, making them 100% relatable. Tate is a riot, and I found myself connecting with her right away. She is funny, charming, and deeply emotional, and I loved her inner musings as she tried to figure out Miles. Miles is a complex character, and I loved the way his backstory was revealed through the flashback chapters. It was heart-wrenching to see the pain he had endured, and I found myself rooting for him to find happiness and love.
The secondary characters in the book are also well-written and add depth to the story. Corbin is Miles’ best friend and is fiercely protective of his sister. Rachel is Miles’ first love, and their story is revealed through the flashback chapters. Ian is Miles’ co-pilot, and their friendship is explored in both the past and present-day chapters. But my favorite secondary character was Cap, the quirky and random character who brings a touch of humor to the story.
What I loved most about this book was the way it explores the complexities of love and relationships. The relationship between Miles and Tate is not perfect, and there are times when it is painful to read. But it is also beautiful, and the way their love grows and develops is incredibly touching. Hoover explores the idea that sometimes love is ugly, but that doesn’t make it any less powerful.
Overall, I would highly recommend “Ugly Love” to anyone who loves a good contemporary romance. This book is beautifully written, with well-developed characters and a compelling storyline that will keep you hooked from beginning to end. Colleen Hoover is a master of her craft, and “Ugly Love” is a testament to her talent. If you haven’t read this book yet, I highly recommend picking it up. You won’t be disappointed.
