"Ugly Love" by Colleen Hoover is a novel that explores the complexities of love and relationships. The story is told from two different perspectives, Tate and Miles, and it switches back and forth between their points of view. 

Tate is a nurse who has just moved to San Francisco to start a new job. She meets Miles on her first day in the city, and they quickly become friends. However, Miles is closed off and doesn't want to talk about his past. Tate is drawn to him, but she doesn't know if she can handle the emotional baggage that he carries. 

Miles is a pilot who is haunted by a tragedy from his past. He doesn't want to get involved with anyone, but he can't help but be drawn to Tate. He agrees to a friends-with-benefits relationship with her, but he doesn't want anything more. 

The novel explores the themes of love, loss, and forgiveness. Miles is struggling to come to terms with his past, and he pushes Tate away because he doesn't want to hurt her. Tate, on the other hand, is trying to figure out what she wants from a relationship. She is willing to be there for Miles, but she doesn't want to be just a casual fling. 

Throughout the novel, we see both Tate and Miles grow and change. They learn to trust each other, and they learn to forgive themselves for their past mistakes. The novel is a powerful exploration of the human heart and the complexities of love. 

Overall, "Ugly Love" is a beautifully written novel that will stay with you long after you finish reading it. It is a story of hope, healing, and the power of love to overcome even the darkest of pasts.
