Page Count: 367
Rating: ★★★★
Genre: New Adult Contemporary

Told by both Ridge and Sydney POV




Synopsis:

At twenty-two years old, Sydney is enjoying a great life: She’s in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her best friend, Tori. But everything changes when she discovers that Hunter is cheating on her—and she’s forced to decide what her next move should be.

Soon, Sydney finds herself captivated by her mysterious and attractive neighbor, Ridge. She can't take her eyes off him or stop listening to the passionate way he plays his guitar every evening out on his balcony. And there’s something about Sydney that Ridge can't ignore, either. They soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one.

A passionate tale of friendship, betrayal, and romance, Maybe Someday will immerse readers in Sydney’s tumultuous world from the very first page


My Thoughts:

I adored this book! Colleen Hoover has easily made her way into becoming my new favorite author! I immediately fell in love with both our main characters; Colleen Hoover has a way of making all the characters find a way to your heart. The only reason I didn't give this book five stars was because at some points the I'm  attracted to you but we can't be together got a little irritating, but other than that I didn't have any other problem.

When Sydney finds out her sleazy boyfriend is cheating on her she finds herself homeless and with her world turned upside down. She soon finds herself living with Ridge her attractive next door neighbor, Sydney can't help but to be attracted to Ridge there is just something about the way he plays his guitar and the way he carries himself and Ridge can't deny that he also finds himself extremely attracted to Sydney, but unfortunately they have to put those feeling aside because Ridge has a girlfriend that he loves and has no intent of leaving.

This book was just ah I don't even know how to explain it. I wanted Ridge to leave his girlfriend to be with Sydney, but when Ridge's girlfriend would come into the picture she was so sweet that I wanted them to make it, like I said Colleen Hoover has a way of writing her characters that they all make a way to your heart and you find yourself conflicted of who you want the happily after for. All the characters in this novel were amazing but Ridge has a very special place in my heart, he was just utter perfection; where can I find me a Ridge. I don't want to go into many details because I might give away some of the plot twists.


 So if you haven't picked this book up I highly recommend it, if you haven't picked anything up by Colleen Hoover a highly recommend you do; I need to own all her books! If you're in the mood for a funny, cute book that is also going to make you cry and at the same time make you extremely happy look no further.

Favorite Quotes from the book: 

" People can't choose who they fall in love with. They only get to choose who they stay in love with"

" However, I've learned that the heart can't be told when and who and how it should love. The heart does whatever the hell it wants to do. The only thing we can control is whether we give our lives and our minds the chance to catch up to our hearts." 

" We try so hard to hide everything we're really feeling from those who probably need to know our true feelings the most."

Ugly Love

Ugly Love

Ugly Love

Title: Ugly Love
Author: Colleen Hoover
Date Published: August 5, 2014
Publisher: Atria Books
Page Count: 337
Rating: ★★★★★
Meet The Author: Colleen Hoover
Genre: New Adult Contemporary
Point of View: Told by both Miles and Tate's 



Synopsis:

When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows it isn't love at first sight. They wouldn't even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn't want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.

Never ask about the past.
Don't expect a future.

They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can't handle it at all.

Hearts get infiltrated.
Promises get broken.
Rules get shattered.
Love gets ugly


My Thoughts:

I don't even know where to start with this book. First how can a book make you cry tears of sadness and happiness at the same time, secondly why did it take me so long to pick up any book written by Ms. Colleen Hoover; I'm kicking myself for waiting all this year’s her writing is perfection.


When Tate moves in with her brother and meets Miles she can't deny the strong attraction they both have for each other it's not love at first sight, but there is definitely something there. When Miles lets her know how he feels they decide to start a friends with benefits relationship with two rules never ask about the past and don't expect a future. They soon find out that having sex and not wanting more is very difficult.




I adored this book I love Miles and Tate they are perfect for each other, this book gave me a rollercoaster of emotions I didn't see that twist coming and the ending was complete and utter perfection. Colleen is definitely the queen of new adult contemporary, this was the first book of hers I've read and I devoured it in less than twenty four hours I just couldn't put it down and now I need to own all her novels; I know I'll love them just as much as this one. 




This book gave me the worst book hangover all I wanted to do was reread it, I could not get past chapter one of any book I would try to pick up after reading this one. This book does have a lot of explicit love scenes, so I do think I should warn my younger followers. I'm very excited for the movie; I can't wait to see this amazing and heartbreaking story come to live on screen.


If you have not picked this book up yet I definitely recommend you read it and if you're planning to watch the movie read the book beforehand remember the book is always better than the movie ( in most cases). If you're wondering if this book deserves all the hype it's getting, it definitely does, so what are you waiting for go to your closest library or book store and pick this baby up.

Quotes I loved from the Book:

“Love isn't always pretty, Tate. Sometimes you spend all your time hoping it'll eventually be something different. Something better. Then, before you know it, you're back to square one, and you lost your heart somewhere along the way.” 

" Ugly love becomes you. Consumes you. Makes you hate it all. Makes you realize that all the beautiful parts aren't even worth it. Without the beautiful, you will never risk feeling this. Feeling the ugly."

" That's how it is when a person develops an attraction toward someone. He's nowhere then suddenly he's everywhere, whether you want him to be or not."
