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?
Damn, I binged All Your Perfects in a few hours and I feel like I cheated myself. I should’ve paced myself and made it last longer, but I COULDN’T! It’s a fairly quick book anyway, but I could not put it down once I started. That’s the way it is when I read any of Colleen’s books, honestly.
Graham and Quinn were genuine characters that I absolutely fell for. This book beautifully follows the ups and downs of their relationship that took me through a wide range of emotions. It’s definitely an emotional read that caused some waterworks, but it produced plenty of laughs and feel-good moments.
I really like how this was told in alternating timelines of then and now until they converge. Truthfully, I wasn’t in the mood for some of the now chapters at the beginning of the book. They were very sad at times, and I just wasn’t in the mood for the downer feels. I preferred the then chapters a lot more, but came to love them equally as the story progressed.
Really, though, I loved All Your Perfects.
P.S. I love how Colleen inserts little Easter Eggs in her books.
Yes loved this one too. Totally agree about the then and now chapters. Preferred the then but grew to love them both. Now I’m wondering what Easter eggs I missed!
The EE references a character from Hopeless & Finding Cinderella.
Colleen is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read it.
This is in my tbr pile. So glad it had all the feels!
I bought it but I haven’t read it yet
I really did love this despite not wanting to read it sometimes because, man was it hard, but those moments never lasted long because I devoured this one too. Leave it to CoHo to leave me in a blubbery mess by the end. And freaking heck, I think I missed the Eater eggs. I wan’t even paying attention!
Have you read Hopeless & Finding Cinderella? It’s regarding a character from them.
I love books that feature imperfect characters. I’m usually not fond of alternating timelines, but this sounds worth the read!
This one is on my wishlist but Co Ho books always gut me so I have to space those readings in between lots and lots of happy, happy books. I’m glad to see that you enjoyed this one. Great review, Christy.
This is on my list of must read books. Great review.
Her books are always so full of the feels and her characters pull one in. LOL, pacing, yeah, I struggle with that, too, when I’m so excited about a book.
That’s how you know a book is good, when you just cannot put it down! And I love it when books have all the emotions, both bad and good! Glad you loved it!
Some books are just so good they fly by!! I understand wanting them to last longer though. Glad this was another winner from Hoover for you. I do love emotion-packed books. 🙂

I love finding a book that’s impossible to put down.
I still need to read Colleen Hoover. This does sound like a book that I would really enjoy.
A difficult decision – binge it all or make it last! I tend to binge too 🙂
I have this on my phone ready to listen. Now I just need to find the time. Darn company! Go away.
I just love those books that you start and just CANT put down. I am curious about this author but not sure if I will pick her up to be honest. Hyped up books I tend to struggle with. But maybe when I am in the right mood. However, I am so happy you had such a good time with it.
I’ve been curious about this one, so I’m glad I stumbled across your review! I’ve only read one Colleen Hoover book and that was Without Merit. It wasn’t a good fit for me, but I’ve been wanting to try another one of her books. I’m starting to think this should be what I read next. I’m also a big fan of Then and Now books, or Before and After. I love watching how the two will eventually connect.

I loved this one too. And it was hard to read at times, but that’s why Colleen is such a great writer because she can turn that all around too, For some reason, I didn’t review it although I should have.
I haven’t read anything by Colleen Hoover yet but am thinking this will be my first after reading your excellent review! 🙂
Damn girl! Love your review! I love how you had to read it all so quick because it was so good! Sounds like this story meshed together well! Fantastic review!
