Synopsis
Colleen Hoover delivers a tour de force novel about a troubled marriage and the one old forgotten promise that might be able to save it.
Quinn and Graham’s perfect love is threatened by their imperfect marriage. The memories, mistakes, and secrets that they have built up over the years are now tearing them apart. The one thing that could save them might also be the very thing that pushes their marriage beyond the point of repair.
All Your Perfects is a profound novel about a damaged couple whose potential future hinges on promises made in the past. This is a heartbreaking page-turner that asks: Can a resounding love with a perfect beginning survive a lifetime between two imperfect people?
My Thoughts
I just finished this book and I am sitting here trying to figure out what to say about it. All Your Perfects is told in alternating chapters of then and now. The then chapters talk about Graham and Quinn at the beginning of their relationship and the now chapters talk about what they are going through now. I will say that reading the now chapters is difficult especially after reading the then chapters.
One thing that Colleen does really well is make you feel all the feelings. Everything the characters go through you feel like you are going through it with them. I will say I didn’t get as emotional as I expected to with this one but I did go through an array of emotions. I felt like this book was written for me. I’m not going to talk about it because of spoilers but I connected with Quinn personally and what she’s going through because I have gone through it to a degree. I figured I would ball my eyes out because of those moments but I didn’t. The one time I got a little teary eyed wasn’t really a sad moment it was a romantic moment.
I know this review is awful but I literally don’t know what to say about this book. This isn’t an easy book to read and its very real and emotional so have some tissues ready.
I soooooii want to read it soon
Great post review 😍

I’ve only read a handful of them and I have only cried with one and it wasn’t even when I was actually reading it it was when I was trying to explain it to my husband that I started crying.

I don’t mind crying, but i prefer the sad scenes to come from fantasy – otherwise it’s so close to reality i get heavy hearted. i’ve had this book marked to read for a while but am still trying to find the right mood for it.

I like when books can bring out some emotion in me whether it be sad or happy emotions.

Like I told you, I loved this book. I really like how the structure of the story intensifies the plot itself. Reading about how they were in comparison to how they are now makes it more intense. Like you said.
I love your thoughts on the book!

Thank you. Surprisingly I’ve only cried in one of her books and it wasn’t even when I was actually reading the book it was when I was trying to explain to my husband what was going on and the next thing I knew I was crying lol.
