Colleen Hoover delivers a tour de force novel about a troubled marriage and the one old forgotten promise that might be able to save it.

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?

10% (view spoiler)[ I can’t imagine finding out my fiancée cheated on me and just sitting in the hallway waiting. Then to show no emotion? I don’t think I would be able to. (view spoiler)[

35% (view spoiler)[ I love this dual timeline. Graham seems real cute. (view spoiler)[

70% (view spoiler)[ my heart is literally breaking for these two. I feel like when you hear about couples struggling in their marriage you don’t hear about how much they still love each other and that it’s not enough to get past whatever issue they are facing. (view spoiler)[

Finished (view spoiler)[ I loved those letters! If I ever get married I am doing this. It is such a beautiful idea and obviously very powerful. So much character growth through out the book. I’m also glad they got a dog haha. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Up to chapter 4

(view spoiler)[ ok, when Graham and Quinn met outside Ethan’s door and shared Chinese food while their S.O’s were cheating on the other side of the door, I loved it. I immediately was like - ok, imagine they get together? What a story to tell at their wedding. And then we jump to the present chapter and I find out that they did in fact get married and I was so happy… however, clearly Quinn isn’t happy and I need to know why. Is there hope for them? She makes comments about her stomach and how it never held a baby and my heart just sank. Is this why she’s so unhappy or is there more to it with their relationship? I can’t wait to read more of their past chapters to see these two fall in love. (hide spoiler)]

Up to chapter 7

(view spoiler)[ oh my gosh, my heart breaks for Quinn but also in a little annoyed at her too for not talking to Graham about her feelings. Or seeking help. She really needs to talk about all she’s feeling. That scene with her and Graham having sex killed me. Hearing how she views things. How she feels. Breaks my heart. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10

(view spoiler)[ “My husbands heart is my saving Grace, but his physical touch has become my enemy.”

This line 😫

I can’t even imagine what she’s going through and I feel so bad that she’s having all these thoughts.


I loved seeing her at Graham’s family’s house. I loved the scenes with her and Graham where she’s happy. He really does have a great heart which is why I wish she would open up to him. (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 1-7 (view spoiler)[The box! I forgot about that. I just love Graham and Quinn together! I love that they ate their ex's Chinese food outside Ethan's apartment. (hide spoiler)]

[Cari]

My heart was not ready for chapter 14. And I just know there will be more to come like that 😭

[Ashlyn]

Chapters 8-14 (view spoiler)[It's so sad how Quinn is with Graham! She just constantly thinks that he wants a child so much that I don't think she even realizes that he just wants his wife back. And the corpse comment just broke my heart. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

Chapters 15-21 (view spoiler)[This is heartbreaking. I mean when Graham told Quinn that he cheated because he misses her. That just broke my heart. This book is honestly everything. (hide spoiler)]
