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 withinfertility 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.

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!

This book was such an amazing read. Colleen Hoover did the feeling of depression so well in this book and I was very happy with the ending.

my heart hurts. my heart has been hurting since half of the book.
this was an emotional rollercoaster. the shift between past and present left me feeling sick sometimes because one was so sad and heartbreaking and then right after that we had a fluffy and heartwarming chapter. my emotions were all over the place.
the characters are so strong, definitely flawed but so realistic in my opinion. i want to give them all a huge hug.
i was crying and sometimes i didn’t even knew why.

“Until then, I will continue to love you more and more with every struggle we face than I loved you when all was perfect.”
Honestly didn’t know what to expect when I started reading this. Apart from a quotable quote I found in booktok, I have no idea what this book was about or who the author is. All Your Perfects is not a book of about a perfect marriage. Contrary to its title, it’s an emotionally messy read about a married couple giving what’s left of them to put the broken pieces of their marriage together. Midway, I thought to myself, ‘it’s like I don’t want to get married at all!’, lol.
Throughout the book, the author presents the reality of some married couples go through—from complicated family ties, third party issues, and dealing with one another and life together. Colleen Hoover wrote the chapters as alternating perspectives of the ‘Then’ and ‘Now. It gave me the right amount of the backstory of the budding and young romance of the couple, to what their marriage has become. I enjoyed the blissful flashbacks, and how the struggling couple cling on to the love and commitment they had in the past. Colleen definitely DID NOT sugarcoat marriage in this one.
I admire how bare and unrefined Quinn’s character is, she’s not at all the typical trophy housewife. Throughout the book, her anger, frustration, and emotions were fully exposed and written. Graham, on the other hand, is an ideal man of patience, deep devotion to his wife, and understanding. But their marriage strips off their facade, slowly uncovering the real condition of their marriage, in which they are forced to face and finally deal with.
My takeaway: Committing to a person is committing to their wholeness and brokenness. Who they were then, who they are now, and who they’ll become. Real love is the capacity to love the unlovable, not in a compromising way, but because out of love you see the person far beyond their unlikeable traits. Not as a record of their past, nor the idea of the person you painted in your head. To love and accept a person as who they are now, means to also be prepared to love the unlovable in them. Loving might be easy, but making a relationship work requires more than love, it needs mutual effort and commitment (awwww!).
Marrying someone as they are is also marrying the person who they will become.
I would recommend this read for readers seeking for character-driven stories. Quinn and Graham really served to be lovable characters who have their fair share of imperfections, but eventually makes an effort to be better for the other. However, I gave this a 4/5 rating because the ‘resolution’ part felt a bit rushed. Overall, it’s a great read (I wouldn’t recommend it for a Valentine’s day read tho!).
