All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover Blog Tour!




Publication: July 17, 2018
Publisher: Howard Books/Simon & Schuster Publishing
Source: Publisher

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Ends with Us—whose writing is “emotionally wrenching and utterly original” (Sara Shepard, New York Times bestselling 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 have a perfect love story, but their unique connection is threatened by their imperfect marriage. The memories, mistakes, and secrets that they have built up over the years are now tearing them apart, day by heartbreaking day. The one thing that could save them might also be the very thing that pushes their marriage beyond the point of repair. So do they risk it? Is their history worth saving?

All Your Perfects is a profound novel about a damaged couple struggling with a relatable issue – infertility – whose potential future hinges on promises made in the past. In Colleen Hoover’s inimitable style and brilliant narrative voice, this heartbreaking page-turner asks: Can a resounding love with a fairytale beginning survive a lifetime between two imperfect people?




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


The main characters, Quinn and Graham meet under unusual circumstances and form a bond practically straight away. The story is told from Quinn’s POV. I really liked the flashbacks showing THEN and NOW. It was great being able to see the before and after effects. I was drawn into the story from the very first chapter. Quinn and Graham were so relatable and likable. I easily became invested in their lives and outcome.

Colleen Hoover does a great job of painting a picture of a marriage that is both realistic and raw. She showcases problems that any couple could ultimately face and how those issues can lead to heartbreak and possibly healing. Life is never perfect. Relationships can feel far from perfect at times. But you learn to roll with the punches and weather the storm and hopefully you come out of it a better stronger person/couple.




I have to admit, when I read the synopsis, I thought I knew what to expect from this book. Turns out, I was wrong. I Should have known. I think it’s probably best that way, to go in without knowing a lot about the story. All Your Perfects is not your typical love story that’s for sure. It was very much an emotionally charged read.(You might need tissues…) I’m still trying to completely process how I feel after reading it. After being put through the ringer, I can say that I throughly enjoyed this book. It was well worth the emotional rollercoaster I was on. I’d say this comes a close second to Colleen Hoover’s other book, It Ends With Us.

If you are looking for a different yet satisfying love story then I would recommend you try All Your Perfects.



RATING: 4½ out of 5.

It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover Blog Tour & Giveaway!!




Thank you for joining me on my stop of this blog tour!

Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true.
Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.
As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan—her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.
With this bold and deeply personal novel, Colleen Hoover delivers a heart-wrenching story that breaks exciting new ground for her as a writer. Combining a captivating romance with a cast of all-too-human characters, It Ends With Us is an unforgettable tale of love that comes at the ultimate price.


I went into this book fairly blind, which I think is the best way to start it. So I don't want to give away too much info and spoil the story for you.

I will tell you this though, I thought I could read It Ends With Us and not react too much...not get emotional. Turns out I was wrong. There were certain parts in the story where I. Just. Couldn't. I had to take a breather and walk away for awhile.

This book does take you on an emotional journey with characters that are almost too real. I fell in love with them. I wanted to get to know them all. The story grabs you and refuses to let you go until the very end. There were times when I didn't want to stop reading it.

It Ends With Us has the power to change the way you view things and leave you an emotional wreck at the end of it all.
