Product Information

If a scientist could figure out how to align the heart with the brain, there would be very little agony left in the world." Quinn and Graham’s love story starts out in an unconventional way. From the moment they met, to when they married, to now, 7 years after that, it’s apparent that fate put them together. They are still just as much in love now as they were in the beginning, but things out of their control has changed things for them. Life has a way of doing that. Sometimes love isn’t enough, but sometimes, it is. The chapters of the novel that detail the excitement of Quinn and Graham’s new relationship and growing love are alternated with chapters that describe what their relationship looks like seven years later. Quinn is so hurt by not being able to have a child that she does not even want to make love to Graham. Making love gives her hope she might receive a miracle, but the hope is dashed each month when her period starts.

Then I eat and wonder how long I’m going to sit out here in the hallway with this guy. I don’t want to be here when the door opens because I don’t want to see what Sasha looks like. But I also don’t want to miss the moment when she opens the door and finds Graham sitting out here, eating her Chinese food. I really am a decent guy. But I'm also extremely attracted to you and want to see you naked again.'Most of the story is told from the heroine’s perspective. Towards the end, you get to see the other side, but it’s done in a very unique way. And I have to admit, she really did such an amazing job of placing the reader right in the heroine’s mind — feeling every emotion that she was going through. He has a knowing look in his eye, but then the lines around his eyes fall a little. “You’ll cry tonight. In bed. That’s when it’ll hurt the most. When you’re alone.” Colleen Hoover’s novel All Your Perfects is a contemporary romance. The plot revolves around Quinn and Graham, a couple who are fighting to keep their marriage together owing to a variety of issues. Title

But seeing these two main characters' stories weave and unweave together, apart, and sometimes a weird mixture of the two, made for a really unique reading experience, and one that I thoroughly enjoyed while reading. I know CoHo isn’t for everyone, but her writing always completely captivates me. Her last few releases had been a torture-fest for her female characters. I should be happy, I guess, that at least they’d get HEA but my gosh, the amount of suffering they had to go through almost negates the happy ending they get. Graham, on the other hand, was much harder for me to fall for. And even though some of his actions were really beautiful and selfless, I never fully loved him because some of his other actions were so nasty and selfish. And I get it, we are all human, we all make mistakes and do bad things sometimes, but his mistakes just prevented me from ever rooting for him. Graham does some really abusive stuff in this book that is never told like it’s abuse, too. You’re better looking than Ethan.” My comment takes him off guard. His expression is swallowed up in confusion because he thinks I’m hitting on him. That’s the last thing I’m doing right now. “That wasn’t a compliment. It was just a realization.” Graham gives a false reason as to why he did it, which he later on told Quinn the truth in his letter. His initial reason was "the whole time I had my eyes closed, I pretended it was you.”.I think I’m masochistic and I’ll discuss this with my new and 18th shrink: because anytime I start one of your works: I just cry. Even looking at the cover create same affect on me. After I read “ Slammed” I cried for two days and after reading Hopeless, I started to throw things against my wall when I’m replying the word “ Why” like a barking dog. After “ November 9” my cries turned into howling. When you meet someone who is good for you, they won’t fill you with insecurities by focusing on your flaws. They’ll fill you with inspiration, because they’ll focus on all the best parts of you.” Sasha?” I say her name incredulously, then I repeat her name, putting emphasis on the sha. “Sasha. That explains a lot.” After reading Graham’s thoughts, Quinn can finally forgive him for the affair. He forgives her for pushing him away. They make a commitment to making the best they can out of the life they have been given. The novel ends with them adopting a lonely puppy from a pet store and naming it August in honor of the month when they began dating. and a time years after their marriage as they faced an unanticipated turn of events that spiraled them down a path they never thought they’d take.

I can’t recommend this book highly enough. It’s one of my favorite Colleen Hoover books ever. It’s definitely one of the best books of the year. It’s an instant top recommendation of mine. Just read it. I promise it’s amazing!A love story between writer and muse, November 9 follows Fallon, a girl with a plan to move across the country, who meets Ben, an aspiring novelist. The pair spends Fallon’s last day in L.A. together and vow to return to each other every year on, you guessed it, November 9. And that ending? Ehhh. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t fleshed out either. It felt very rushed. They opened the box, they cried, and everything just smoothed itself out. However, it was worth mentioning that they apologized to each other and renewed their commitment. But overall, it felt, I don’t know, underwhelming and rushed after all that build up.

Plus points when it makes me feel like I need to save my own marriage in crisis – even though I am not married, not even close to being in a relationship, and have never been in a relationship I wanted to fight to save - I am usually the one to kill them. well, you think i would have learned my lesson by now and decided to take better care of myself mentally and emotionally. but here i am, reading another CoHo book that has, yet again, broken me. immediately after finishing this, i ate half my weight in mint chocolate ice cream and cried through one and a half boxes of tissues. this is the inevitable result of a CoHo book, ladies and gentlemen. I thought this story was chemical, it broke my heart in the best way and as much as I hurt - I didn't want it to end. I didn't want to leave Quinn and Graham. I wanted to see every detail of what their lives would turn out to be.Unsure of what to do, Graham is at a loss for what he can do to save their marriage. Instead of confronting Quinn, he pretends everything is okay. This love that Graham and Quinn shared was messy, beautiful and absolutely filled to the damn brim with hope. Their story showed an ugly truth to life, that hope isn't always something to lean on, rather something to keep close. There were some aspects in this book that I will talk about in the next section, only because I'm making everything above that last section spoiler free. I know. That’s not the bad part. The bad part is that I do know how to change a tire. He just refused to let me because it would have embarrassed him to have to stand aside while a girl changed his tire.” I’ve also found that every book has many little imperfections. The Old Bard of Avon included in this, but it’s about how all those tiny little imperfections (this metaphor is becoming very rhythmic with this book’s title) wrap up to make it perfect. That’s that last star - in a world where nothing can be perfect, that last star is handed to how beautiful an author can execute it's imperfections. I think my favorite thing about this book was that there wasn’t any fairytale deus-ex-machina-style fix to the problems that this couple faced. I loved that the way they worked through it actually was about how they dealt with it and, rather than finding a magical way around it. It felt so much more real and believable because of this. I’m trying to be as vague as possible to keep this spoiler free but I think you’ll see exactly what I mean when you read it.
