Today I started (and finished) Colleen Hoover's novel Ugly Love. This novel, like all of Hoover's novels, was a super quick read for me. I became easily immersed in the characters lives and needed to know their stories... but it wasn't my favorite Hoover read.
So a bit about the novel. Tate is moving into her brother's apartment. She meets a man in the elevator who looks at her and tries to flirt with her, but he's clearly hiding his wedding ring. (Don't worry he isn't the love interest!) When Tate gets to her brother's apartment, a man is passed out drunk in front of the door. Her brother isn't home, but when Tate calls him she tells him to let him inside. The drunk man, named Miles, lives across the the hall, and he's filled with insurmountable grief. We don't know why, or what happened, but we know words cannot describe his pain. This man becomes Tate's love interest.
The story is told in the present tense by Tate and the past tense by Miles. I must say that I liked Miles' parts more than Tate's, and without giving too much away, wished that it was Miles' story that had a happily ever after. Nonetheless I enjoyed it.
I gave this book 5 stars of Goodreads, but here I'm going to give it 4.5 out of 5 Coffee Beans. This is book 2 in my current #socialdistancing to read pile. Comment below with how many books you have read / want to read!
