NetGalley Review: Ugly
I received this book via NetGalley to give an honest review.
First off if you did not read the synopsis this book is very DARK and has abuse within the story.
This book hit me right in the heart from the start and had me within its grasps to the very end.
Lily is the main character and she has been through hell since she was a little girl, I kept wondering what would make her father want to beat her, call her names, and not feed her and I got my answer at the very end. I kept wondering if we would ever be told and so when it came to be I was like OMG how heartbreaking for all involved.
While Lily is dealing with things at home somehow she has caught the eye of Trent and I knew from the way he was acting something was very very off on him but I didn't want to pinpoint it if I wasn't correct. Though I was. All you can wonder through out the story is WHY did no ONE think to ask Lily what was going or why she was so skinny. It was like no one wanted to truly ask as I guess because it wasn't their business. As the story progresses it just seems to get worse for Lily and you are left wondering will she ever find happiness, will she ever have a normal life?
Then pops in not only her one true friend but later on a true gentleman. Shayne is a good person for Lily as a friend not only does she worry about her and her situation; you can tell they have an amazing friendship only because for friends to lose contact and then meet up again like nothing has changed (even though it has in life) is a true friendship.
When she meets Max Lily knows to take things very slowly with him and it seems Max can relate to Lily's situation and is willing to be there for her no matter what. Max was the knight in shining amour the one that you want to see be there for someone who needs them.
The ending for me was perfect for this story I won't tell you how it ends but I say get your hands on this book read it, devour it, leave a review on your thoughts about this story.
