Review: All You Perfects by Colleen Hoover



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


I can easily sum up all of Colleen Hoover's books in few words - Emotional, heartbreaking, and raw.

Her stories has evolved so much over the time. I still remember reading her first novel, Hopeless, and falling in love with her writing and the characters. Her stories have always managed to touch my heart, even if I didn't relate to some parts of it. I used to love her romance novels, which made me believe that even though sometimes thing don't work out the way you want to, it all gets better eventually. Her stories are so emotional, but also gives you hope. And even now, her recent stories have been equally great. I will say that I cannot relate to the issues these characters are going through, but it still breaks my heart to read it.

I'll try to not give away the gist of this novel, because it's better if you experience it yourself. All Your Perfects is written alternatively in past and present chapters, which I feel was much needed because of how heavy some scenes got. This story is mainly about a couple dealing with infertility (probably the first book I've read on this topic), and because of that, both of them goes through phases of depression, desperately trying to make their marriage work.
