All Your Perfects

by Colleen Hoover

“You’ll cry tonight. In bed. That’s when it’ll hurt the most. When you’re alone.”

I’m not a very emotional person. Out of all my female characters, Quinn probably resonates with me the most. She was dealt a heavy blow in the first chapter when she found out her fiancé was cheating on her, but she was surprised at what little emotional reaction she had to the discovery. When Graham tells her it’ll hit her later...that she’ll cry when she’s alone...it’s because that’s usually how I process my own emotions. It takes a while for something to sink in, and when it does, I prefer to grieve in private, when I’m alone.
