. 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.
