Summary and Study Guide
Overview
Colleen Hoover’s Ugly Love (2014) is a standalone romance novel set in contemporary San Francisco. The story predominantly alternates between the primary characters Elizabeth Tate Collins and Miles Mikel Archer. Tate, a registered nurse pursuing her master’s degree, is in her early 20s. Miles, an airline pilot, is in his mid-20s. The chapters from Tate’s point of view are set in the present, while the chapters from Miles’s point of view are set six years in the past. The third person narrative voice is direct and unflinching, but Miles’s chapters incorporate a poignant poetic narrative in addition to prose. Through Tate and Miles’s clandestine romance, Hoover explores the themes of The Duality of Pleasure and Pain, Relationship Boundaries Versus Emotional Walls, and Fear and Control as Roadblocks to Love.
