Fuck this book broke my heart into a million pieces. But fuck it also put it back together again. I absolutely loved this. CoHo does it again. I loved both characters so much. Even though Graham had his flaws and made bad mistakes, and Quinn wasn’t the best wife, I loved them so much, and I loved them even more together. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to be loved more than Graham loves Quinn. The side characters were also nice, but I do wish they had been more complex and played more of a role in the story. I think the relationships between Quinn and the characters could have definitely been more developed and shown a lot more. The book was very focused on Quinn and Graham’s characters as individuals and their relationship together, but didn’t really have much on their life outside of their own relationship. I would have liked to see them out a bit more. I loved the aspect of the mystery box, and what was inside when we did eventually find out. Reading his letters were probably the highlight of the whole story. I cried so hard during those letters. Throughout the book we never got his perspective so the things he did were questionable, but once he explained it all in the letters it all made sense and I loved him so much more. I have never wanted two people to have a happier ending than I wanted these two. Their love story was beautiful and I love them so much. This book has constantly been on my mind since I read it and has a special place in my heart. I love the ending, I love the plot twists, I love the way this was written I love this entire book. I was crying, then smiling, then smiling through the tears. This was a roller coaster of emotions but I loved every second of it, especially the Category 5 moments. I highly highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a beautiful love story that makes you cry a million tears.

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

this is one of my favourite books of all time and i strongly urge you all to read it.

colleen hoovers books tackle some really heavy topics - all your perfects centres around a couple struggling with infertility problems.

colleen can provoke emotions within me that i didn’t even know i was capable of feeling. i was crying within the first 100 pages and a lot of chapters were difficult to get through. it was one of the books that, from the very beginning, i couldn’t see how it could end happily.

the chapters switch between past and present which, when the present’s problems all become too much, it provides a break where you can read all about the characters as they fall blissfully in love.

i’m a fourteen year old girls who reads romance books, of course i believe in love. but if i had to choose one book to prove to someone else that love does exist, this is the one i would choose.

everything in this book is real. colleen doesn’t sugar coat anything to make things seem better than they actually are just to spare your feelings. she shows both the ugly, devastatingly heartbreaking side marriage, but also the hopeful, beautiful side of true love.

I wish I liked this more as this is such an important story and conversation to have. However, as someone that has been in therapy for the last 10 years, was the communication skills so painful to read that I almost threw the book across the room on multiple occasions.

All Your Perfects was my second book by Colleen Hoover. It was raw and emotional. The time line jump chapters were brilliant. It was "then" and "now" but it also felt like we were going through the "perfects" and "flaws" of their relationship - which is so fitting. The hard times in Graham and Quinn's relationship felt very real and relatable, which is not always something that can be said about a romance novel. Is this Colleen's best book? No, but it's a pretty dang good one.
