All Your Perfects
by Colleen Hoover
My Rating: DNF
Quinn and Graham’s perfect love is threatened by their imperfect marriage. The memories, mistakes, and secrets that they have built up over the years are now tearing them apart. The one thing that could save them might also be the very thing that pushes their marriage beyond the point of repair.
All Your Perfects is a profound novel about a damaged couple whose potential future hinges on promises made in the past. This is a heartbreaking page-turner that asks: Can a resounding love with a perfect beginning survive a lifetime between two imperfect people?

This will contain some spoilers about the plot of the book.
I hate to do it, but I’m going to have to call it a DNF. I really wanted to like this book, but at the 44% mark, I just couldn’t. And this has nothing to do with the book or even the writing. It’s because I couldn’t connect to the story or the characters.
This book is about a topic that doesn’t cater to me. It’s about infertility. I don’t want to seem like a bad person or come off heartless or insensitive but I honestly can’t put myself in their shoes. Getting a little personal, I don’t want to have children. It’s not something that I want to happen in my life. So you can see how this wouldn’t be a good book for me.
This book will hit home for quite a few people but it just wasn’t something that I could relate to or a story I could get into.
Oh wow, I’m sad that this didn’t work for you. 😦 As someone who struggled a lot with infertility, this is the kind of book I’m both really looking forward to and scared to read at the same time. I can see how it might not work for you with you being child-free, though. I hope your next read works better for you! ♥

I was kind of scared to put this review out there because infertility is a big deal and touchy subject for most. I hope you enjoy it when you read it!

They are the same for me. I only read and like one of her books, It Ends With Us.
I’m starting to think that maybe she isn’t for me.

I loved her debut novel but I didn’t fall in love with her other books. Ugly Love was pretty good but I hated the characters.

Honest review Kayla! CoHo is a hit or miss for me. Some books I worship others leave me indifferent …

Her last few books have honestly been a mess for me. They are so dramatic and I feel like she doesn’t do the serious topics she touches on justice. It’s like she uses them as a plot trope and I don’t like that. I can understand not being able to connect to the story because you don’t relate to any of the issues. It happens.

I agree with you so much! I haven’t liked any of her last few books either.
I’m starting to think she just isn’t an author for me

Thanks for your honestly, Kayla. I haven’t read CoHo before and I’ve heard good/bad things about the type of books that she writes. I’m definitely avoiding this book since I am one of those women suffering from infertility… 😔
