All Your Perfects

I've read Colleen books since her first book was published. I've one clicked every pre-order since. As an Endometriosis survivor who spent 6 years in the abyss of infertility, this book savaged my soul. I read books to escape the humdrum of reality. I read books to travel to different places. I read books to expand my knowledge and vocabulary. I read books for the fairytales and fantasy. I have never read a book that provided me with counseling. I don't know whether Colleen ever had infertility issues but she must or someone close to her has, because the words, the sentences and paragraphs in this book could have been written by me. Instead they haven't because I have never been able to put into real words what feelings and emotions I have endured over the last 10 years. As hard as I've tried with blogs I used to write, I've never really captured the pain and the everlasting damage or repair to my own marriage. I've never really understood my husband's side of things because I made it all about me. Thanks to the power of Kindle you can now copy text out to share it. I've shared practically the whole book and sent to my husband. He's not one for reading but I am going to beg that he reads this. This book is about marriage irrevocably altered by infertility. I got my two miracles and 4 years ago I nearly had my chance of a second miracle taken away from me. Luckily I stuck to my hope of Fairytale endings. Because I was lucky enough to get mine and I thank my blessings each day. But for the women and men who don't get that miracle or for the ones that do, this book will move you either way. It will speak to you about what the other one is thinking, thought, felt or feeling. She has somehow captured my thoughts and emotions in a sentence when I couldn't and didn't realise what those feelings and thoughts even were. The 6 years of the abyss shaped me and my husband and our marriage. I like to think it made us stronger because we weathered the storm but it was cathartic for me to revisit the abyss because I needed to handle that baggage. My marriage is 100% not perfect but it's made me realise, it really doesn't need to be. So thank you Colleen for writing a book for infertility and marriage. Thank you for the best one click of all time. You have altered my mind, expanded my knowledge and in a way my humdrum fairytale. Read this book as there aren't enough stars.

Amazing book I couldn't put it down.

I thought I’d go for a light read. Boy was I mistaken. This was heartbreaking and deep. I’ve only read this authors first thriller Verity as this is more my genre. So I thought I’d read a light romance. This alternates between chapters from the “then” to the “now”. Very easy to follow may I add. I loved reading the “then” chapters, learning how they met, fell in love etc. But we learn what appears a happy family life starts to crumble under infertility problems. I got frustrated in places, I kept say.....communication......come on, talk to each other! Alas, they didn’t hear me. So this is my second Colleen Hoover book. What do I think? I think she has a great insight into human tragedies and peoples reactions from all sides. Clarity on emotions. She draws readers in, then you just can’t escape that nook because those characters become a part of your life, you need to find out what happens........so you just have to keep on reading until you’ve finished the book. I recommend this to any one who loves a romance, not a ‘soppy’ romance, one with body and girth to it.

Amazing book as always, the ending was different than I thought it would be, but absolutely loved it, as always

This book is so so good it gets you going through all the emotions as well as the whole series

I really love the cover of this book, the colour is so vibrant. I have to say after reading a few of Colleen's books and loving them, this one was not my favourite. It is all about Quinn and Graham and their marriage. It is all about a troubled marriage and what happens behind closed doors, stays behind closed doors. It was quite heart breaking to read and I just wanted to jump into the book and tell them to just to get a divorce, but it is not my relationship to criticize. I found it thought provoking and I did want to see where they would end up at the end of the story.

When I read the online synopsis of this book I thought as an endometriosis sufferer who was infertile I would find a common link with myself. I did - but more importantly - and surpringly - it wasn’t about the infertility that I linked with. I linked with what I feel is the bigger message - look at what you have got and not on what you haven’t got. No I never had a baby and the infertility journey was awful - very similar to Quinn’s. We went on to adopt and I had a hysterectomy when she had been with us for 7 months. So yes I identified very much with Quinn’s character. Graham is a complete saint and I’m not sure men like him actually exist! I so hope they do. I sound dramatic I know but the message in the book has had a powerful positive affect on me. My husband has recently become disabled and I’ve been just looking on what we can’t do in life now - this book has given me the kick I needed to concentrate on what we can still do and get on with it. A very well written, thought provoking book that had me in tears but - has also given me a lot of hope for our future. And just to say - I don’t normally get Eureka moments from fiction!

Colleen Hoover delivers another emotional rollercoaster with All Your Perfects, a story that explores love, heartbreak, and the fragility of relationships. The narrative follows Quinn and Graham, a couple whose once-perfect relationship faces the intense pressures of infertility and unhealed wounds. The alternating timelines between their past and present help deepen the emotional stakes, showing how their love story evolves amidst life’s challenges. Hoover’s writing is poignant and raw, with beautifully crafted moments that tug at your heartstrings. Quinn’s inner struggles with her self-worth and her marriage are deeply relatable, and Graham’s steadfast devotion offers a hopeful contrast to the darker themes. The chemistry between the two is undeniable, and you truly root for them to find peace and happiness. The novel does an excellent job of portraying the complexities of marriage and how love isn’t always enough to solve every problem. While the book is undoubtedly heartfelt, some readers may find the pacing a bit slow at times, and a few plot points feel slightly predictable. However, the emotional depth and powerful ending make up for any small shortcomings. Overall, All Your Perfects is a moving, heartbreaking, and ultimately uplifting read, showcasing Hoover’s ability to delve into the messiness of human emotions and relationships. It’s a great choice for fans of emotional contemporary romance, but be prepared to have your heart both broken and healed.
