Contains spoilers - if you've not read it yet, I wouldn't recommend reading just yet!
First off, I just have to say that I knew this book was going to be fantastic. How did I know that? It's by Colleen Hoover. Of course it's going to be amazing! I've been such a big fan of her and her stories for so long now, I've read everything she's written and I've never closed the book disappointed. Ugly Love was just as well-written and entertaining as the others. If you're reading this and you've only read Ugly Love, I highly recommend you try her other books. Me and my co-blogger are always gushing about how incredible her writing is and this book is just one of many stories that'll stay with you for a long time. So give her books a try if you haven't - you won't regret it!
Anyway, starting onto the review. This is something quite different to what I've read before. The story was such a quick and easy read, it flowed really well and although it took me a while to read, because everything in my life just happened at once and I had literally no time which is great timing (not). I made time to get through this because I just HAD to know what had happened to Miles. I had to know about Rachel. I had to know what happened between Tate and Miles in the end. When I got to these parts, I was very satisfied.
What I can say about this book in one word? Real.
It was so realistic. Real life isn't all sunshine and flowers and this book just shows that. There are harsh things in reality that change us and make us who we are today. Even the littlest thing can change a massive part of us and, in Miles' case, make us completely block things and people off. It can really affect us in different ways and Colleen shows us the harsh situations that come after a tragic accident. Something that's incredibly difficult for anyone to get through, and I personally think Miles handled it quite well, especially at his age. He managed to get a decent career, some decent friends, pay his way through life and not turn to drugs. He was so torn apart. And although he tried to block love from his life, Tate managed to get through to him in the end and it just goes to show that sharing your woes is okay. It's good to share to people who really care about you. Tate really did and he knew that.
My situation in life wasn't as tragic as Miles but I have been through some tough things in my life, I definitely think it's made me who I am today. You learn from things and have to learn to accept them. Just like Miles did at the end when he went to visit Rachel. He needed closure. He needed that reassurance that everything was going to be okay post-Clayton. It's okay to be happy after such a horrible thing, and it's okay to love someone else.
In the end scene when Miles looks down at his daughter, he can finally be happy. He gets the happy tears. He'll obviously still be sad about Clayton but his life now has a meaning. He's a father again. His son is gone but not forgotten and Miles can shrug off that terrible weight off his shoulders and live the life he wanted. With a family. His family. Miles, Tate and Sam.
Tate obviously didn't have such a terrible time in her life like Miles did but I'm sure she had her problems, and yet she was a massive rock to him. She did let him use her for sex but she knew what she was doing. Sometimes you get these girls in books who are fooled into doing things like 'friends with benefits' but Miles told her straight out. He gave her the rules. She understood and she still tried to get though to him and it worked. If you care about someone enough, they'll let you in. She deeply cared and it must be awful to see someone so incredibly important to you fall apart like that. Especially when he's crying on the floor with his head in his hands. I'm proud of her. She was sweet, caring and a great character to experience the story with.
The past stuff with Rachel wasn't what I expected at all. I was thinking first that she'd just break his heart, cheat, maybe lie but it went a completely different direction. He wasn't heartbroken in the way I expected and I loved that. It's refreshing to get a story that's so different to what you're used to. Not going to lie, sometimes NA stories are quite similar, but not this one. A child. Clayton. Losing his life through a car accident and Rachel leaving him through despair and mourning for her baby. Miles blaming himself for both losses. Losing the people you love most in your life must be such a distressing time, I can't even imagine how heart-wrenching that must be. I have to admit, I shed a few tears (and I'm not really a book-crier!)
Protecting your heart isn't easy and keeping people out is a hard task when there's such compassionate and loving people around you. He can't help fall for Tate, she was there in many more ways than one, she was his saviour.
I'm so excited to be giving this book away because I cannot wait to hear what more people thought of this story. It's truly moving, you're laughing, you're crying, you're blushing - it's incredible.
Let me know what you thought of this book because I, for one, am bursting with the feels at the moment.
It's a massive 5 stars from me, that's for sure.

ReplyDeleteI didn’t know I could recover my scammed investment. Two months back, I made a trade with an online trading platform where we had to invest for about 3 weeks before getting out our profit. Things went well for a while, at first I was able to withdraw the first profit made. But about two weeks back I was blocked from accessing my account after I re-invested a few more dollars. I reached out to Jeanson James Ancheta Wizard and he was able to recover my scammed funds within a space of two week.

Hello everyone, I'm Franceis Garnier from Brampton, Canada. I felt sick to my stomach when I lost all my investment to a company I thought was genuine. I had put all my investments into cryptocurrency and was hoping to make huge profits from my investments but the investment platform was fake and their site was a phishing site that logged me out of my account. I thought it was all gone forever not until I saw an article online about a cryptocurrency recovery company called SpyWall Cyber, while I was in doubt of their service, I went online to do my research since I didn’t want to fall victim to scan again, and I discovered that SpyWall has recovered cryptocurrency lost for many other victims of the scam, I contacted the team and in a short time, SpyWall was able to recover everything that I had lost. They are truly amazing and provide top-notch professional services, I’m very impressed and grateful for their swift action to help me get back my money. I highly recommend them to everyone out there.

HOW I GOT BACK MY STOLEN BITCOIN FUNDS AFTER A FAILED INVESTMENT.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone, I’m Bobby Felix from Oakland, California.
A month ago, I invested $204,000 worth of bitcoins into an investment account through their website stockfxtrade.net/
When it was time to withdraw my profits which were at that time $719,000, their website crashed and logged me out, I sent countless emails and messages to them and the investment company became unresponsive. Realizing that I have been scammed of my money, I began to seek several means to get back my funds, I went to the authorities but they couldn’t trace or locate this company. At some point, I began to give up on the hope of ever getting back my funds until a colleague of mine told me about ASTRAWEB CYBER, a cryptocurrency recovery company that has been helping many others like me to get back their funds, I hurriedly contacted them and provided all the necessary information, and with the information I provided, ASTRAWEB CYBER was able to recover my $204,000 worth of bitcoins in 48 hours. Their service is truly magnificent and I gladly commend their efforts.
I never would have imagined I could get back my funds and I’m grateful to ASTRAWEB CYBER for their help.
Reach them via E-Mail: ASTRAWEB@CYBERDUDE. COM
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM FOR ALL YOUR BITCOIN, CRYPTO, AND DIGITAL CURRENCY RECOVERY.
Good luck.
