I never had a love for reading till I came across Hopeless! You are an amazing author & by far my most FAVORITE author! I know I speak for everyone when I say “WE WANT MORE”

I would probably felt more of Miles pain had it been written in a straight-up, no BS prose. I wanted it raw and gritty. I wanted the words to hurt. I didn't want to be lulled to sleep by it. Frankly, if I'd wanted to read poetry, I'd read a poetry book. Will I love him, I have always loved poetry my favorite is Mario Benedetti, and to read a book that a guy of 21 loves poetry gives me hope and made me think that there are more guys around my age(20) that can love poetry too! Their future rests on how well they deal with the past in this final instalment of the beloved Slammed series. I can’t let go of her hand and I can’t stop looking into her eyes. In this moment, absolutely nothing is happening, but then again everything is happening. Every single second I silently look at her, holding on to her hand, erases days of willpower and determination I spent keeping my distance. Every ounce of energy I’ve put into doing the right thing has all been in vain.I turn away from her and grip both sides of the door, pressing my head against the wood. I close my eyes and try to hold it in. It feels like the pressure, the stress, the emotions that have been building up for the last two weeks—it feels like I’m about to explode. now, some might say that he gets a pass because of his sad past- because it really was sad by the way - but you see, for the majority of the book we've been reading about how Miles fought for and loved Rachel, and Tate fought for and loved Miles, for once i wanted to see him fighting for Tate but we never got to see that because again, there is NO. GROVELING. I think every book I’ve read by this author has made me cry. Even if it’s just a few tears, I always cry. This book. I did more than just cry a few tears. Oh the tears. There were times I couldn’t control the tears. They just streamed down my face continually while I read through them. It was heart wrenching and so emotional. Ugly Love made me Ugly Cry. Big time. Some parts were worse than others, but wow. I just FELT so much while reading this. In fact, NO Colleen Hoover books are recommended for anyone under age 14. A few are recommended as appropriate for Young Adults aged 14 and over. Most are recommended for Mature Adults aged 17 and over. Lastly, a few are so dark and/or explicit that it’s best that only persons aged 21 and over read them. I never doubt anything written by Colleen Hoover. She’s a great writer who has the power to easily pull our emotional heartstrings. The Slammed Series is one of my favorite stories and although I wished that This Girl showed alot more about their future, I was still happy to relieve Layken and Will’s journey of love and self growth.

honestly, because of the ending, i was this close to rating this 1 star because that's how annoyed i was with everyone but i felt generous today so. as always, i liked the emotional writing and how i can feel the longing and passion between Tate and Miles when they're having sex, the whole "ugly love" message, and learning about Miles' past and why he's the way he is?? it was so sad. Miles really likes Tate. But the last thing he is looking for is love. Their attraction and chemistry is too strong to deny, so they go with the whole ‘friends with benefits’ thing. As long as Tate can follow Mile’s two rules, they can be together in that way. She smiles sheepishly at me. I’m just curious. We’ve never really talked about the past before. Now that I know you aren’t going anywhere, I feel more comfortable talking about it. Besides, there are a lot of things I want to know about you, she says. Like how it felt when she broke up with you like she did. When Tate decides to move in with her brother for a while, she never expects to meet a man like Miles. Miles is a pilot like her brother. Miles is taciturn. He seems flat. But there is something about him that intrigues Tate.

I've read the book twice now and I know I'll be reading it many more times to come. I have the book hangover of the century and I'm finding it hard to let go of Miles and Tate because of how strongly I connected to them. Truly, I don't think there can be greater proof that this was a wonderful book. She gently places her hand on my shoulder in an attempt to console me. I shrug it off and turn around to face her again. "Two weeks, Vaughn! I yell. I realize how loud I’m being, so I lower my voice and step closer to her. They’ve been dead for two weeks! How could you possibly be thinking about yourself right now?" At first, I was so mad sometimes at Miles for treating Tate the way he did, but after we learn what happen to him i don't really blame him! He had serious issues and he thought that love was bad. Will… She pauses. The way she says my name, the tone of her voice… it sends panic straight to my heart. She looks up at me but can’t hold her stare, so she turns away. It's not that I don't like you, Tate… I just don't want to like you. I don't want to like anyone . I don't want to date anyone. I don't want to love anyone."
