Ugly love



The book we shall be reviewing today is 'Ugly Love' penned by Colleen Hoover.

Colleen Hoover is a YA fiction author who made her debut in January 2012 with the slammed series. She is also well known for her works like, 'This ends with us', 'November 9', 'Verity', and so on.


The plot unfolds from two points of view: Tate and Miles. The theme of the book is giving life second chances while moving on from the grief that holds the power to consume a person from the inside. The writing style is exceptional as always, hilarious yet heart-wrenching in equal amounts.

“Sometimes not speaking says more than all the words in the world,” is a quote from the book that tells us that we do not always need words to express ourselves. Silence speaks louder than words at times.

“The pain will always be there. So will the fear. But the pain and fear are no longer my life. They're only moments,” is an extract from the book that describes the way of life. When we feel grief, we can never really get over it completely. The pain will hit us in small moments reminding us of all that we have lost, but we should not let those small moments define our entire life.

“I suppose if a man lived through the ugliest side of love, he might never want to experience it again,” is a quote from the book that explains to us that when we have experienced the darkest side of something, we start to fear it absolutely and tend to avoid it at all costs.

“Sometimes it's easy to forget how much you miss people until you see them again,” is an extract from the book that tells that, with time, we get busy with our lives, but when we come face to face the person we so desperately used to love but lost, all the feelings  you have pushed to the back of your mind, hit you at once.

“It won't be a quick break, either. It'll be slow and painful, filled with so many moments like these that tear me up from the inside out,” is an extract from the book that tells us that hearts do not break in one swift moment. It is the little things that remind us of the joyful times, and break a person little by little from the inside.

If you are looking for an emotional yet funny read, this is your pick.
