This book is sad, heartbreaking, devastating — I cried so much — but it was also beautiful. I love Colleen Hoover books, but this one might be my #1. I loved how it flipped between then and now so we got to see how their story started as well as how it continuing. I love Graham & Quinn.

However, as much as I love this book, please please please look up trigger warnings for this book before reading! This book has romance, but it’s about a broken marriage and the plot centers on that and it includes a lot to do with

infertility

which might be hard for some to read about, I definitely was not initially prepared for it.

Boyfriend Graham is wonderful, amazing, a solid book boyfriend
Husband Graham awful, horrible, immature and not a great husband.
I guess that fits with showing how couples grow and change over time and how it isn't always for the best. This does not have a HEA and everyone should check the triggers going into this book.

I can never get tired of Colleen's writing. Her books are so passionate, so involving, they go straight to your heart and get stuck into your brain.

Once again Colleen give us a story about love and pain, and it make us think about how much pain can destroy a love story. Although I've never been in this situation (or met anyone going through a tough time like this) I felt every single emotion that both Quinn and Graham are going through. Since Quinn's feeling of failure to Graham's feeling of helplessness, everything is very clear and though through in this book. This could be a story about a miracle: a couple that after years and years finally gets the baby they always desire. But this is Colleen we are talking about, so I knew (right from the start) that it couldn't be that "easy". On the other hand, not every couple gets their miracle so, in a way, this book can be kinda conforting for those people.

Now, to my "not favorite part". Dear Lord! I didn't want to not like Quinn, but Colleen does not make that easy. She is perfectly aware that her marriage is falling apart, she knows exactly how she is contributing to that happening, and she just watches... I spent half of the story just being mad at her.

With that being said: this was another 5 star reading! Highly recommend!

As always, All Your Perfects takes us through the full gamut of CoHo emotions. For better or for worse.
Quinn and Graham meet under noteworthy circumstances. "Then" chapters take readers past that initial meeting into their courtship and eventual marriage.
"Now" chapters take us to where they end up seven years later, a marriage between two people who love each other deeply but are drawn apart by the heartache of infertility.
There will be a lot of triggers here for some. Fans of Hoover's writing will know to expect her soul-wrenching writing to take us through all the feels - the good, the bad, and the awful.
Recommended!

BOOK REVIEW

All Your Perfects / Colleen Hoover

Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“If you only shine light on your flaws, all your perfects will dim.”

okay, so I want to start by saying that I’m not the biggest coho fan, but this book was incredible! I have to admit that coho has a way of writing about difficult topics/themes that not many authors are capable of.

Quinn and Graham’s relationship is one that is very real, very heartbreaking, but also very heavily filled with hope. hope, however, is a horrible emotion that we feel deeply but can’t necessarily rely on. I enjoyed the alternating timelines between ‘then’ and ‘now’, the slow uncovering of details had me wanting to know more, and made it hard to put this one down. it really showed how hardships can affect a marriage, as we saw the struggles that Quinn & Graham were facing.

if I’m being honest, I did find Quinn’s character frustrating at times, and found myself criticising her behaviour. it irritated me that she wasn’t openly communicating with her husband, which ultimately caused Graham grief because she was unable to open up to him. Quinn does put a lot of blame on herself which I believe is a defining reason for her negative internal thoughts, she ‘shines light’ on the negative parts of her life, which she cannot control, which in turn ‘dims her perfects’.

Graham is such a caring and loving husband, and of course he struggles too, but I feel that he pushed his own struggles aside. there is a certain situation that comes up which I want to clarify that I do not condone - iykyk, but want to explain that I understand why and how it happened, and although I don’t think it’s right, it hasn’t impacted my rating.

on a final note, the main theme in this book is infertility, which I feel is still not a very openly discussed topic, but one I aim to learn more about.

tw: infertility, miscarriage, infidelity
