But I have never felt more alone in my entire life.” I don’t know where you went or when you left, but I have no idea how to bring you back. I promise to love you more when you hate me than when you love me.”Īnd the thing is, the love didn’t go away, circumstance and depression pushed it to the back burner. I promise to love you more when you’re sick than when you’re healthy. I promise to love you more when you’re crying than when you’re laughing. I promise to love you more when we’re poor than when we’re swimming in riches. I promise to love you more when you’re hurting than when you’re happy. “I promise that I will love you more during the storms than I will love you during the perfect days. Quinn and Graham were so great together at first! That’s when Colleen’s fun and quirky sense of humor comes out, but as soon as I started smiling and swooning, we would jump back to depression. I wish we had a little more of the good times. “What did I miss while you were sleeping?” He wanted to know everything about her, and I loved this: He was so confident that Quinn was the one. When they first connected, sigh, Graham….he was so awesome. I think reading this book brought back those feelings for me and perhaps they were just a little too much because I am starting to sob as I pull the quotes to write this review.
It’s so much easier to pretend than confront the real issues. We’ve done that dance at several points in our marriage. We’ve been dancing this same dance for a while now.” Partner one goes in for the kiss, partner two isn’t receptive, partner one pretends he didn’t notice. And though she still loves her husband, she is feeling so much guilt and hopelessness, she has just been retreating into herself and her depression. I’ve slowly been rotting away, and that rot is now eating at my marriage to the point that I can no longer hide it.” Just when the present gets to be too much, we jump to the past, where Quinn and Graham fall in love. Colleen was genius in the way she told the story alternating past and present.
But All Your Perfects was so well-written, despite my melancholy mood, I couldn’t stop reading it. We have had some really rough patches in our marriage, so maybe some of it just hit too close to home for me. While the ending made it worth it, I am super glad I didn’t read it on vacation like I planned, because it put me in a bit of a depression for a couple of days. All Your Perfects is not an easy read by any stretch of the imagination. So I knew to expect amazing writing and a TON of emotion. Colleen has been one of my top favorite authors since she first published Slammed (She was at the very first Wicked Book Weekend in February 2013). Women’s Fiction/RomanceĪll Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover was probably my most anticipated read of 2018. All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover Standalone.
