What Ugly Love is about
Tate Collins finds Miles Archer, an airline pilot, passed out outside her apartment door. He turns out to live right next door. They are not friends, yet the pull between them is obvious. Miles wants no part of love, and Tate has no room in her life for a relationship, so they settle on an arrangement with two rules: never ask about the past, and never expect a future.
The question driving Colleen Hoover's 2014 novel is whether Tate can stick to those terms once she realizes they are more than she can handle. It is a raw, emotional romance about attraction, emotional wounds and the distance people keep to protect themselves. Readers who like intense, steamy contemporary love stories will want to pick it up.
