Colleen Hoover’s Ugly Love strives to deliver an emotionally charged romance but ultimately falls short of its potential. While the premise of the story is compelling and the chemistry between the characters promises an intense journey, the rushed execution and lack of depth prevent it from being a standout in the romance genre. Despite its shortcomings, Ugly Love does offer glimpses of Hoover’s talent for crafting raw, emotional moments that tug at the heartstrings.
