Introduction:
Colleen Hoover’s “All Your Perfects” is a story of its time. A love story set in the backdrop of a strained marriage, this book captures the essence of time and commitment to each other. Colleen Hoover’s writing encapsulates the readers and invites them to a journey of love and trust.
About the Book:
The book follows Quinn and Graham as they navigate through their almost failing love marriage. We are introduced to them in two parallel timelines, one at the beginning of their relationship and another several years down their marriage. While one is cute and romantic the other timeline is filled with grim secrets of their marriage.
We see Quinn deal with her infertility and how this affects their marriage. Her sorrow and disappointments in herself is a key point of this book. She is unhappy with her body and what it fails to do. Several years of IVF has nothing on her.
This book focuses on the emotional havoc this infertility brings on to this family. We see Quinn’s personal struggles with her infertility, and we also see how Graham deals with his wife’s infertility in his own way. Together this book is a portrait of their ways of dealing with infertility.
Quotes:
The writing of this book is flowy and breathable. Words are used fluidly almost as though mimicking the fluid nature of Quinn’s mood and emotions. The two parallel timelines beautifully create an overarching larger than life story for the readers – a story based on the love between these two individuals. The author’s words create beautiful quotes such as
– “What’s the secret to a perfect marriage?’ The old man leaned forward and looked at me very seriously. ‘Our marriage hasn’t been perfect. No marriage is perfect. There were times when she gave up on us. There were even more times when I gave up on us. The secret to our longevity is that we never gave up at the same time.”
– My favourite quote however is, “And I promise . . . I swear . . . that if you choose to end things between us, I will love you more as you’re walking out the door than on the day you walked down the aisle. I hope you choose the road that will make you the happiest. Even if it’s not a choice I’ll love, I will still always love you. Whether I’m a part of your life or not. You deserve happiness more than anyone I know. I love you.”
These kinds of words invoke a lot of emotions in the readers and take them on a journey of self-discovery.
– Another very popular quote is, “We’re all full of flaws. Hundreds of them. They’re like tiny holes all over our skin. And like your fortune said, sometimes we shine too much light on our own flaws. But there are some people who try to ignore their own flaws by shining light on other peoples to the point that the other person’s flaws become their only focus. They pick at them, little by little, until they rip wide open and that’s all we become to them. One giant, gaping flaw.”
