The sections narrated by Tate describe her attraction to Miles, though she does not like him when they first meet. Her portions of the story are staggered with chapters set six years earlier in which Miles describes his romance with Rachel and the circumstances under which they lost their baby. In the present, Tate tells the story of her attraction to Miles and her belief that he loves her, too. ![]() The majority of this novel is written from two different first-person points of view. Before it is too late, Miles’s friends try to convince him that he is making a mistake by closing his heart to Tate. He refuses to tell her about the tragic accident that killed his newborn son and the ugly ending of his relationship with the baby’s mother, Rachel. Miles’s constant spoken denials of his love still hurt and confuse her. Even though Tate Collins senses that Miles really loves her, she agrees to Miles’s terms. Do not ask him about his past, and do not expect a future. In the romance novel, Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover, Miles Archer has two rules for a relationship. The following version of the novel was used to create this study guide: Hoover, Colleen. ![]() ![]() And as Margo soon discovers, it will take more than three wishes to save him.

With one peek into her mind, he can see the wishes that even Margo herself doesn't know she wants.īut Oliver comes with more than just mind-reading abilities, a flair for magic, and the prettiest eyes Margo's ever seen. Especially since Oliver-not blue-skinned, not bottle-dwelling, but a genie nonetheless-can see more than what she's willing to show him.
