It was actually written in that format too. Like prose and love letters and lyrics, cascading All I could think of was, “I’ve never met a guy who would talk like this.” But I read his “poetry” and his deep dialogue and it didn’t feel real or natural to me at all. I didn’t think much of it at first, but after a while it just hit me all at once. So was most of his dialog during these flashbacks. Is it really attractive if a guy NEVER smiles? Is that where we’re at these days? Miles: the poetĪll of Miles’s flashback chapters are from his point of view and they’re so poetic and deep. I feel like we were supposed to get off on this “mysterious” persona, but it was a little too empty for me. The guy had no personality, he never smiled, he never laughed, and he refused to talk about his past. It’s the kind of mysterious that’s supposed to be all hot and sexy, but really it was just kind of blank. I feel like Miles was a girl’s interpretation of “mysterious”. I literally think I recoiled a little and thought to myself, “Do I really like this?” Miles: the mystery guy All of the problem with the book were glaring at me. Somewhere around the 60-70% mark, it’s like a veil was lifted. Man, I was hooked! I so desperately wanted to know what happened!Īnd holy cow, the sex in this book was… well… it was intense… and raw. We get a flashback into his past, then slowly work our way forward to figure out what happened. We know that SOMETHING bad happened with a girl named Rachel but we don’t know what. Mostly, I was addicted to Miles’s back story. My feelings for Ugly Love are so weird and complex! Do you ever feel like you’re really starry-eyed and EVERYTHING IS AWESOOOOME, then suddenly a veil is lifted and you see all the imperfections? That happened to me while reading Ugly Love.Īt first I loved Ugly Love! I got sucked into the characters, the story, and the romance.

They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all.

Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction.

They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows it isn’t love at first sight. Published by: Atria Books on August 5, 2014
