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.

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 first Colleen Hoover Book Review ✧
Official Rating:⭐⭐
I'm giving this 2 stars because I like what this book could have been. It could have been a story about emotional healing and learning to love again. But I guess a healthy book is too much to ask from CoHo.
This book is a mess. I don't understand how people can find Ugly Love romantic. I wish people, including Colleen Hoover, understood that it's not up to romantic partners to solve a man's emotional problems.
My main issues with Ugly Love:
- What is with the weird ass step-sibling romance? Like CoHo what was going through your mind?
- Tate had no self-respect for the entire story. There were times when I couldn't read anymore because she just had no backbone.
- Miles desperately needed THERAPY. NOT “LOVE”.
- Most of the book is just depressing sex. I saw absolutely no actual chemistry/romance between Miles and Tate.
- Miles sucks. Tate sucks. I don't know why I should like either of them. They're just two sad, pathetic people.
I didn't have many expectations for this book, I just knew there was going to be a lot of sex and a mysterious pilot. Never did I think that it would have so much depth. It was just so much that what I expected. and I loved it. It almost made me cry and I just loved it so much.
I loved this book however I was a bit disappointed we didn't get to know more of Miles. I felt the chapters from his POV were rushed and I couldn't get into his relationship with Rachel, nor did I feel as bad as I should have when it was revealed what happened to cause Miles to swear off love forever. I would love to read this same story completely from Miles's POV a la This Girl or Losing Hope.
