“Don’t be so hard on yourself,” he says. “Now you know exactly what to look for. When you meet someone who is good for you, they won’t fill you with insecurities by focusing on your flaws. They’ll fill you with inspiration, because they’ll focus on all the best parts of you.”
I think this was Graham’s way of telling Quinn that this is what she did for him. She was able to change the way he saw himself because she only saw good things in him, where his ex saw disappointment.
I chose to write the book with a “then” and “now” pattern, alternating each chapter to show their relationship in the past and the present. I wanted to show Quinn’s personality in the past, when she had the whole world and all its possibilities in front of her, vs. the present, where Quinn lost sight of what was most important to her in the beginning. This quote takes on a different meaning in the “now” chapters because Quinn begins to focus on her own flaws and insecurities.

I don't think I'd say that All Your Perfects is my fav CoHo book, but Graham is the best male character out of any book I've ever read hands down.
