Publisher's summary

From Colleen Hoover, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Ends With Us, a heart-wrenching love story that proves attraction at first sight can be messy.

When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she doesn't think it's 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.

Good story, difficult listening

The male narration was difficult to listen too. He seemed choppy and not comfortable with the part.

shame about the male narrator

Female narrator was fantastic

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The male narrator was way to effeminate and made the character come off as gay

Everybody hurts... sometimes

Although it's a good emotional and rough story, well written, after 50% of the book, I'm afraid I didn't like the most mercurial important character in the book. Yes I had hope it would be ok, but...

I don't understand him, so selfish!

You know, you're not alone Miles! Some people actually lost more than one love by accident or else and they moved on without leaving a wreck behind. Can't think of one good thing about Miles. He was smarter when he was 18... A man this big and so self center. I understand he's hurt but exaggerating words and silent, silence but deafening... duh

You're smart enough to know, your friends worry about you but you can't care less about them.

Ian was so good to you, even Corbin was taking care of you and most of all, Tate! How could you torture her so and not Rachel, who left you?
Are you aware they had feelings too and maybe they were hurt like you, before they met you?

Everybody hurts... sometimes.

Loved Cap! What an amazing and wise old man! And I got to say that Tate saved a man who doesn't deserved to be saved at that moment.

All through the book, too much information about the "six years earlier" and I wasn't impressed. I wanted to know more about the present and the development and interaction between Miles and Tate.

I wanted more about the realization of Miles almost throwing his whole life away! His story was tragic, ok! But there's no hope, so why live and let others feel pain?

If you loved Maybe Someday, this isn't enough and doesn't come close.

I felt the ugliness not in the story, but in the character...

I'm a mess...again.

I loved this book when I read it. So much. I was pregnant. And I sobbed and sobbed for hours. I wanted to experience the love in the heartache again. I'm glad I did. An incredibly well done performance. I'm so happy!

it's not always pretty

Such an amazing story of 2nd chances. Colleen Hoover never disappoints! Miles feels like he can never love again &
Tate just can't stay away. Of course they do the only thing two people in their situation could do, they agree to a no strings attached relationship. Colleen is a master at story telling and can break a heart like non other. You will Fly into love with Miles Archer!

Love isn't always pretty sometimes it's ugly!

This story just broke me, totally, completely and irrevocably! It tore my heart from my chest. It made me ugly cry. It hurt in ways I did not think a book could make me hurt. It also made me believe that love can truly conquer all.

I binged Ugly Love in one day!

I listened to this in one day while cleaning up Christmas decor, walking the dogs, and staying up late just so I could finish it! I enjoyed the storyline and the unexpected cause of the emotional shut down of Miles. I like it when you don’t have it all figured out a few chapters in. The narration was really good too. If detailed sex scenes bother you, you might want to pass.
