Ugly Love: A Novel by Colleen Hoover

I loved how this book caught my attention from the very first chapter, I remember reading this starting at 10pm and binged unintentionally until 1am. Only because the plot twist I came too was so good I couldn't leave it there until the next day. This book broke my heart in so many ways, but it also gave me alot of life lessons. I am not a victim to any of the things that happend in this book, but I know that if anything like this ever in a million years happend to me, I'd think back to lily's character and her mom Jenny, and all that they went through and the experiences they shared, and advice. This book was a 10/10 in my personal opinion. This would definitely be a recommendation book to my friends!!

I finally decided to jump on the Colleen Hoover train & started with this book. Let me just say that I am not disappointed. This story is so well written, emotional, heartbreaking, touching and so many other words. Great job Colleen Hoover!! I can’t wait to read more of your books!

This book was nothing I had anticipated. Being only the second book of Colleen’s that I have read I’m dying to read more. I can’t bring myself to pick up another one quite yet after finishing “It Ends With Us” because That book left me feeling some kind of way. It was intoxicating, exhilarating, and disappointing in the best and worst way. Such a good read! Colleen really knows how to write a good book.

I absolutely loved this book forever in my top ten I can't believe I almost let people talk me out of reading it it's a beautiful emotional rollercoaster and I think I needs to be on everyones TBR list......However the delivery was horrible instead of delivering it to my door the person bent the book in half long ways and shoved it in my mail box causing many areas of damage to my book but other than that I highly recommend this book

this book would be my first book I have ever read and I really love this book. I honestly don’t care what the story is about in a book, if the story catches my attention I’m going to love it and that’s what happened with this one. I can’t wait to read what else colleen has to offer

i’ve read this book 3 times! the first time it took me less than a day. i really wanted to stop after the first page cause i thought i was gonna hate it. i was so so wrong!! it’s literally the best book ever! it got me back into reading after several years! 10/10 recommend!

This book was definitely a great read I couldn’t put the book down!!!!! It had me feeling so many different emotions. The ending was a freaking shocker!!!! I can’t wait to read the sequel. Already preorder it

I have never been inspired to write a book review. This is my first. I read all the critical reviews, but the subject matter of this book hit a very sensitive nerve for me. First of all, for those who thought the book was too sensual or too emotional, I must venture a guess this subject matter is something they have never lived or even thought was possible.Domestic abuse has many sides and many questions. If you have not been a victim, it might be easy to say,”Why didn’t you leave?” This book answers many questions and explores the victims and abusers viewpoints. The most prominent quotation in this book for me is, “There are no bad people, only people who do bad things.” I believe the circumstances of our childhoods shape us into the adults we become, even more than genetics. The traumas we have to survive and the way we are made to feel about ourselves stay with us.I was a survivor of my parents abuse of each other. It was not just my father, but also my mother who fought violently with each other. I was able to go to university and leave the trauma physically, but not emotionally.I married the first man who proposed so I didn’t have to go home.I withstood his verbal and physical abuse for 28 years. He stopped hurting me before my bruises and choking so as not to send me to the hospital. I stayed with him for 28 years because he was a good father and my daughters loved him.I loved him because when he was good, he was very good. Was I stupid? Was I afraid to go out on my own? Yes. My children came first. I would endure anything for their safety and happiness.This amazing book addresses both sides of abuse, from each perspective. The heartbreak of having to decide your future with a man you love with all your heart, who loves you with everything he has in him, but who also has demons he is unable to control.Please read this book. It will give you sight into this ongoing tragedy between men and women. Withhold your judgment until the end, if you have the wisdom to do so

I enjoyed this book very much-it gave an interesting perspective on a domestic abuse situation and loved that it doesn't end the way you think it will.. Not sure why others dislike it so much-this was my first Colleen Hoover read and have already got several others of hers to read.. you can't start a book and not finish it and give it such a bad review-if anything just say you couldn't get into the book and move on-if you stay with the story it makes so much sense in the end..

I am an avid ready. Lately I haven’t been reading as much as I once did due to working, raising kiddos, and taking care of the daily household things and when I did find the time to read, I usually entertained the education/self help books. I saw a co-worker reading this a few weeks ago at work and she couldn’t say enough positive things about it. I was a Twilight enthusiast back in middle school and have fond memories of reading that series and escaping from my real-life problems. I decided that life is too serious to use what little leisurely time I had available for reading on just education/self help and the take a dive back to the genre that captivated me back then. And Man. BEST. DECISION. Seriously, if you are on the fence for any reason, hope OFF and read this. Honestly, read all of Colleen Hoover’s books.
