UGLY LOVE BY COLLEEN HOOVER


Title: Ugly Love

Author: Colleen Hoover

Series or Standalone: Standalone

Genre: Romance

Format: ebook - kindle

Publication Date: 5th August 

Goodreads Summary:
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 Review:


Ugly love was my first Colleen Hoover book and I was defiantly not disappointed. This novel had me laughing, crying and smiling all at the same time throughout the read. Absolute perfect first Colleen Hoover book!

I loved the way Colleen put each chapter as the other person's prospective, showing Miles' past and Tate's present. As I read in Tate's prospective I wanted to know more about Miles and I got that from the way she presented this book.

I enjoyed reading Miles' relationship with Rachel and the way things were portrayed in the past. As I compared present Miles' with Miles' character in the past I realized that it felt as if I were actually reading about two different Miles'. This showed me the change of his character throughout his time. As the book went on and Tate and Miles' relationship progressed, I saw the similarity of Miles' character from his more closed off self to his younger more vulnerable self. His more vulnerable self was shown particularly around Tate and Rachel, teaching us who he really is. 

Tate's character is a more live life to the fullest kind of person. Which I loved. Her humour shows her personality as well as reading about what she is thinking when she is around Miles. Throughout reading Tate's prospective I noticed her changing into her real self and she begins to stand up for herself more than she did in the past with Miles. Which always put him in his place. I also appreciated her friendship with Cap, that friendship told me more about her character then anything else.

Overall I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good ugly love story. I cannot wait to pick up every single other book of Colleen Hoover's because her writing style is amazing! Ugly Love has to be my favourite book I've read so far this year!

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer - Book Review

Image
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by  Michelle Hodkin Published by   Simon And Schuster  on    September 27th 2011 Genres:   Paranormal, Fantasy, Young Adult, Romance Pages: 452 Goodreads “Thinking something does not make it true. Wanting something does not make it real.”  The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer delivered reality and truth into a supernatural and suspenseful book. Intrigue of Mara Dyer's character came from her being quite mentally unstable due to the accident that she cannot remember which killed her friends and left her alive. This makes Mara an unreliable protagonist and it is almost impossible to tell if what is happening is actually even going on in real life or just inside her head. However, I did find it quite hard to imagine what Mara Dyer physically looked like. I feel like the author did not exactly describe her appearance or even her ancestry (Indian) early on in the book, so I had a picture in my mind that didn't match with her description

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

Title:  Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief Author:  Rick Riordan  Series or Standalone:  Series Genre:  Young-adult Fantasy Format:  Paperback Publication Date:  January 1st 2005 Goodreads Summary: Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a greek god. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. Now I spend my time battling monsters and generally trying to stay alive. This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea. My Review: If you know me, you know how much I love my Greek Mythology and  this book just made me love it even more.  I enjoyed the whole concept of Camp Half Blood, which is the Camp that all Demi-Gods can go to to escape all of the monsters in the real world.  Rick's writing was very honourable and reading from Per
