About this book

Book Summary

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Starts with Us and 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's perfect love is threatened by their imperfect marriage. The memories, mistakes, and secrets that they have built up over the years are now tearing them apart. The one thing that could save them might also be the very thing that pushes their marriage beyond the point of repair.

All Your Perfects is a profound novel about a damaged couple whose potential future hinges on promises made in the past. This is a heartbreaking page-turner that asks: Can a resounding love with a perfect beginning survive a lifetime between two imperfect people?

Media Reviews

"Half-adorable, half gut-wrenching—and wholly a great read. Hoover captures the amazing side of a happy marriage, while at the same time connecting with the struggles of having one's expectation of 'the perfect life' not being met." ―Library Journal (starred review)

"This depiction of a marriage in crisis is nearly perfect." ―Kirkus Reviews

"A poignant love story…With Hoover's evocative style, readers will experience the emotion of this story while sympathizing with both Quinn and Graham." ―Booklist

"Intimate and raw." ―USA Today

"Heart-wrenching...another fantastic read." ―Bustle

"With a deft hand, Colleen Hoover crafts the unraveling of a marriage with brutal, unflinching honesty. The genius is in how she stitches together the perfect ending. This is one beautiful story." ―Tracey Garvis Graves, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl He Used to Know
