Wow. I have such mixed feelings about this book. I am a CoHo nut, and I have absolutely LOVED every book she has written. And I can genuinely say I loved Ugly Love. In fact, as I finished it, I thought it was probably a 5 star read. Then I started to remember my thoughts before the last 25% when it got really good, and became very torn on my rating.

This novel's captivating exploration of love and pretense is perfect for fans of UGLY LOVE, offering a fresh twist on the unexpected journey from feigned romance to a love that feels refreshingly real. Plus, an audio original sequel, THE HONEYMOON CRASHERS, comes out in August!

Looking for an engaging rom-com where a simple lie spirals into a complex deception?

Much like Hoover in UGLY LOVE, Armas explores the unexpected dimensions of attraction and love, making this a must-read for anyone who appreciates the complexities of seemingly simple romantic arrangements.
I fell in love with this book instantly, it brought back happy childhood memories; the times when I used to listen to music on my Sony Walkman, ahh those were the days. You must be thinking why I am all of a sudden talking about my childhood, tapes and music. Well, all these play a big part in the love story between Eleanor and Park. I love their first meeting in the school bus, it is quite quaint and unique.
I also love the part music plays in the story. It shows how two strangers can connect and bond, how essentially a song a break can the ice between two people whereas nowadays we listen to music as a way to ignore or shut the world out.

I have already sent as much of this to Apple as I could fit into their feedback form. I should probably state that the views here are my personal opinions, not those of my University; this is mostly a blog for my research work but since I use this photo library all the time for those purposes it seemed like a reasonable place to put it.
At the moment, even leaving aside the deeply problematical bugs with the import function, it limits user choice in favour of a standard route into the photo library, badly undermining its potential usefulness. A pity.
