Ugly Love: A Book Review or Whatever

Ugly Love: A Book Review or Whatever

Summary

I’ve grown fond of Colleen eversince I read her book It Ends With Us but this time, I am slightly dismayed about the story of Miles and Tate in Ugly Love.

Miles cannot love anybody after losing his first born and first love, Rachel. Rachel left him after she blamed Miles for not saving their son first in an accident. Six years have passed but he has not recovered and won’t ever want to feel and see the ugly love. They first met when Tate was moving in his brother’s apartment. Her brother ( Corbin) and Miles are both pilots. They were very much attracted with each other until Miles confessed that he wants her in bed only. Tate agreed along with Miles’ two rules: Don’t ask about his past and don’t expect the future.

Most of the scenes then were purely sexual. These were incredibly detailed and arousing but when there are too much of these, the reader will get bored. The story is really centered on their orgasms thus I couldn’t enter their world because I have not invested in either of the flat characters. The setting is in the two neighboring rooms and the dialogues were not funny nor witty.

Reaction

I would not enter a relationship which is purely based on sex. Engaging in sex out of wedlock is already a sin and to do it over and over again will only eat up my conscience and suck out my happiness.

There are those who do so. It’s because of the pleasure, need, thrill or love. Many would give up everything to satisfy their partner. Many have been destroyed because of the choices they made. Love is not meant to destroy people. Love should not be an excuse to stay with someone who is not capable of reciprocating it.

But of course, people just love too much. It’s dangerous. It’s ugly. People are .Not love.
