All Your Perfects

By: Colleen Hoover

Narrated by: Madeleine Maby

Length: 7 hrs and 43 mins

Publisher's Summary

The number-one New York Times best-selling author of It Ends with Us - whose writing is “emotionally wrenching and utterly original” (Sarah Shepard, New York Times best-selling author of the Pretty Little Liars series) - 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 pause resister that asks: Can a resounding love with a perfect beginning survive a lifetime between two imperfect people?

Oh Colleen, you sure know how to turn me into a moody girl! All Your Perfects was a complete emotional roller coaster for me. I was MAD, I was Happy, I was Sad, I was Annoyed, I was Broken and most of this was after chapter 20! Up until chapter 20 I was mostly frustrated. I personally love how this story went back and forth from past to present, without the past I don't think I would have felt the same about these characters or their situation. This is a very hard subject matter and I can't even imagine how it would feel so who am I to judge the way they handled it ...or didn't handle it. I loved how this book made me feel in the end and as always Colleen Hoover shows me how to be empathetic to other peoples situation because it's easy to say they should do this or do that but people aren't always rational when they are breaking. The ending was beautiful!

The narration was great, I think she was a great choice for these characters.

Love/Hate

So glad I got to read this first! As usual, Colleen Hoover grabs you and plays with you until you are putty in her hands. This is another one of her books where one read is not enough. As for the Audible version, what a huge disappointment. It is almost tragic that an author that draws so much emotion with her words is paired with a narrator that seems to not be invested at all in the story. She narrates this deep book as she would reporting the six o'clock news on September 11. I gave the performance one star and it deserved zero.

Married Life Ain't Easy

Colleen Hoover could write a grocery list and I would be the first in line to read it. That is how much I love her words. If Colleen is new to you, I would suggest starting with the Hopeless books or Slammed Series instead of this one, but it is not necessary. There a countless number books where boy meets girl, there is a conflict or two and then they live happily ever after. Sure, I like to read those because it is a nice escape from reality, but that is not how it works in the real world. In All Your Perfects we get to see a more natural, realistic progression in Quinn and Graham’s relationship, from when they met to years into their marriage. Marriage is hard. Like really hard. And I am not even married or an expert on marriage. I don’t even play one on TV. But, I know it’s hard. I did have to wait several days before I wrote this review just to let everything soak in as I wasn’t quite sure what I thought at first. I came to the conclusion that while I have not found myself in the same situations as Quinn and Graham, I think there are so many aspects of their story that people will connect with and apply to their own lives. Not just in your intimate relationships, but with friends, parents, siblings, etc. I listened to the Audible version and really liked it.
There is a good chance tears will be shed and an even better chance that this story will resonate with you for a long time.

Just Perfects, lol

No complaints and not enough time in the world to express my love and gratitude for this book.

It’s basically my life in a reversed role. My boyfriend of 6 years cannot father children due to some medical issues he was born with. We have not intentionally tried to have kids but also haven’t prevented them either. And slowly I’ve grown to realize it isn’t in the cards for us.

Hopefully when we become super serious about trying I can keep this book in mind and apply it to our situation. I’ll remember the ups and downs these characters have faced and know there’s more to us than our flaws.

“If you only shine light on your flaws, all your perfects will dim.”

THANK YOU, COLLEEN HOOVER!!

Another great book. (Turn narration speed down)

i highly recommended that you turn the speed down to 95 while listening to this book. the narrator does a good job but she was narrating to fast at the beginning. Once i turned the speed down the book was very enjoyable. it wasnt my favorite Coleen Hoover book but it was still excellent.

Heart wrenching story, subpar narration

CH did it again with a captivating story that gives you all the feels...however, a different narrator would have made it better. It was hard to tell if the character was speaking or thinking, and there just wasn’t enough emotion for the topic

All Your Perfects

Qhinn and Graham

Boy oh boy, this book brought out so much emotion in me.

I was frustrated to the extreme at the beginning but I was invested. I was waiting for it and waiting for it and poof then I was tearing up and fighting the emotions, do I like or do I hate, do I understand and the frustration of understanding.
THEN my heart was being ripped from my chest.

I then had to walk away and calm myself

I came back and poof I was fighting the tears again. In the end, I was smiling and so full of all the happiness and joy emotions.

How can Colleen do this to me?!?!? The talent she has is astounding.

This was my review of my feelings… You should read this book… That is all.
