If you were following my status updates, my rating shouldn't come as a surprise. I have huge respect for the author as a person, which is why I gave it two stars, but Ugly Love is a one star at best. 
 Things I would've liked: 
 1. For the story to actually have a plot. Girl & boy like each other. Girl & boy use each other for sex. Girl falls in love. Boy is unable to love. I feel like this might be familiar. 
 Oh, wait. 
 Friends with Benefits 
 No strings Attached 
 Love And Other Drugs 
 HOW is yet another film going to be made? 
 It's almost like the author saw these movies, then told herself, "Yeah, I can do this shit. But let's throw in some angst and come up with a male protagonist with a terrible past." 
 2. For Tate to actually have a spine or any sense of self-worth. There is no depth or complexity to her personality, nothing interesting or worthwhile about her. Honey, please, stand up for yourself. Take up a hobby. Adopt a pet. When a fuckboy says his ex's name during sex, you don't tell him to finish. You don't lie there and tell him to ram you harder. You and your dignity get outta there. 
 3. For Tate to actually work or do something related to her career other than obsessively think about Miles. How is she a RN? I not once bought it. 
 4. For Tate to actually have friends. A life, maybe? 
 5. For the characters to not be flat and uninteresting. I'm talking to you Corbin. Dillon. Tarryn. 
 6. For 
 Miles 
 To 
 Not

 Why is it written this way? If I wanted to read poetry, I would pick up a poetry book. 
 AND, GOD, THE REPETITION. 
 You're going to love donuts, Rachel. 
 I love that Rachel loves donuts.

 Rachel is going to have all my donuts.

 WHAT! THE! FIG! Oh, my God. Seriously. How do you not laugh at that? 
 7. For the writing to be better. 
 8. For the sex scenes to not be incredibly boring. I've watched soap operas with more steam than a Turkish bath. 
 9. For any guy in the story to not be a pilot. Why is everyone a pilot? Miles could very well have been a plumber. Ah, but Tate wouldn't have batted an eyelash at him, now would she? 
 10. For me to actually have cared about what happened to Miles. 
 My last from this author.
