When life gives you lemons, make sure you know whose eyes you need to squeeze them in.
I've known about the existence of this novel but I avoid to read this because I knew this novel would bring me to tears. And I'm such a crybaby type girl. Then a while ago, my friend recommend me Ugly Love. And I did read. And I'm crying. *sigh*
This is my first Colleen Hoover's novel and I wasn't disappointed. It's easy to love her writing, it's beautiful, magnificent, heartbreaking, and I can feel all the raw feeling.
Tate just moved into her brother apartment when she met a drunken man lying right in front of her brother's apartment door, Miles. Apparently, he is her brother's friend and soon after that, they agreed to begin friend-with-benefit thing between them.
Did you miss me, Miles?”And up comes the armor again, shielding him. He looks away and walks back into the kitchen. “We don’t say things like that, Tate,” he says. The hardness is back in his voice.Is he serious?“We don’t?” I take a few steps toward the kitchen. “Miles. It’s a common phrase. It doesn’t mean commitment. It doesn’t even mean love. Friends say it to friends.
Gee!
Despite I love Colleen's writing, I have to say that there's not much going on besides their sexual life. Sorry but Miles is an asshole for 99% of the book. I despise what he did to Tate and I pity Tate for accepting what Miles did to her - or in this case didn't.
That's why I'm struggling to rate this book. I want to give three stars for the overall story, but four stars for Colleen's style.
Overall rating is 3.5/5 stars
