Review
All Your Perfects has to be, hands-down, one of the realistic and emotionally moving books I have ever read.
I recommend heading into this book without knowing anything really about it. It will bring you on an emotional rollercoaster but I guarantee that it's worth it.
All Your Perfects was an extremely tough and emotional book to read. It put aside theatrical dramatics to depict true day-to-day struggles couples have to go through in order to make their marriage work. Colleen Hoover has written so many beautifully written stories that discuss serious and usually sensitive topics, that are often topics skirted around. With her blunt and honest portrayal of the journey both Quinn and Graham go on, one can not help but feel deeply affected.
Happily ever afters do not come wrapped in a sparkling fairytale ribbon. They are gritty, hard to come by, and beyond real. While this book deals with infertility, it showcases the hope that is ever present even in difficult times of one's life. Though hope often pushes and sometimes hurts us, it keeps us going and fighting to not wish for things that may not be but to also push for what you have.
Quinn and Graham's relationship was a beautiful mess, filled with so many emotions and truths that it is hard to turn away from the page. It will tear you apart, leaving you a crying mess, feeling everything. It may be hard to sometimes read but I honestly believe this is a book, much like Hoover's It Ends With Us, that many need to pick up and read.
TRIGGER WARNING: Infertility, infidelity, grief, self harm, anxiety, and miscarriage.
