. All Your Perfects is an emotional heartbreak that will rip your heartstrings and then mend them back together. We see a flawed woman named Quinn and instantly we feel devastated for her as she and her husband Graham are not able to conceive. This book has some heavy themes which are depicted throughout this emotional book. It deals with loss of child, resentment, infertility, and infidelity. The quote “if you only shine a light on your flaws, all your perfects will dim.” A constant motif throughout this book is infertility and gives us an ideology of what women have to go through when experiencing abortions or miscarriages. It also shows us how the environment around us impact the emotional factor of our lives and the effect it can have on your marriage. For example, Quinn’s mother is constantly trying to tell Quinn that Graham is not the right guy for her and how she will regret not picking Ethan, who cheated on her with Graham’s fiancé. The way that Hoover makes such an unusual encounter for Quinn and Graham and their f respective fiancés inside having sex, how they meet and decide that they are better off without them. This also insinuates how Quinn and Graham are very loveable from the get go and how they are often portrayed as a couple with a lot of bumps in the road, but it is common for every couple to have these kinds of difficulties and consequences in these marriages and how they have to overcome them to portray and depict their love for one another, which is executed perfectly in this book. Overall 5 stars from me because this was astounding and it really is All your perfects rolled in one.

I'm not going to lie the first half of this book I didn't really gravitate towards. It wasn't bad or anything. It was an easy read. It's just in the first half it felt like there was more sex than substance. It wasn't until I got to the second half (page 153ish maybe). It was the chapter where

Graham cheats on Quinn is when I got invested. And for me it just got better from there.

That's when I started to see more substance in their relationship that was contained from both the "then" and "now" perspectives. Their was relationship was finally showing some depth to me and I could see why they feel in love with one another. But what really sold me was

the letters that Graham had written to Quinn. All this time I wanted to here Graham's perspective in all this and I'm so happy I got to have it.

The ending was very satisfying to me and I feel like it tied the story up nicely. Now I still really can't get passed the stuff in the first half. Graham was a little iffy for me and I felt like he was coming on too strong. And I didn't think Quinn was all there either. I didn't really feel her love for Graham. Personally I'm not one for smut/spice and that was basically what the first half of the book consists of. Even though I couldn't be passed some of the weird stuff that happened in the beginning

they had sex with an expired condom. Like come on, how horny can you be?!

I did think this book was a nice read. If this whole book was like the second half it might've been a 5 star read for me.

I would give this book a 5✨ If it wasn’t for the

cheating trope

THATS the one thing that made me feel upset. Colleen Hoover Is a master at playing with your feelings. This book almost felt too real and made me cry multiple times. Read at your own risk.
