This New York Times bestseller, published in 2014, doesn’t shy away from the messy, complicated side of relationships.
“Ugly Love” follows Tate, a nursing student who moves in with her brother and meets his emotionally closed-off pilot friend, Miles. The two quickly form a connection, but Miles makes it clear he’s only interested in something casual, with strict rules attached. As Tate finds herself drawn deeper into his world, she starts to realize there’s more behind his guarded nature.
Told through a mix of present-day moments and glimpses into Miles’ past, the story explores what happens when attraction collides with buried pain.
It pulls you in with its intense chemistry, but what really sticks is the emotional depth, especially as Miles’ past slowly unfolds. It’s heartbreaking and frustrating at times, but that’s what makes the story feel so real. Hoover shows that love isn’t always pretty or easy.
Colleen, if you’re reading, can you help make this become the next Hoover novel to get a movie adaptation?
