Is it
possible to sue for emotional whiplash? What about lost wages or overuse of
tissues? I mean… while I’m seriously joking about suing… my heart FEELS
different after reading All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover. It feels like my
heart has been jarred out of place. I might have missed one day of work due to
reading, and oh my word, the amount of tissues I used should be embarrassing to
even mention! All Your Perfects was the rawest and most emotional story I’ve
read in years… IN YEARS! Ms. Hoover does not hold her punches. She comes out
swinging with brass knuckles on and my heart, my poor heart, is feeling the effects!
Nothing
I write will truly convey how brutal this book is on your heart. I’ll be
honest, if you stuggle(d) with infertility like I did (do) than it’ll hit you a
bit harder. It’s a sad and ugly truth and hits you upside the face like a full
force semi. The struggle that is infertility is something that can’t be
explained fully to someone that hasn’t experienced it. It is a heartache in
itself unlike anything else. To be denied what should be a God-given right, is unfathomable.
Seriously, you can’t even begin to understand the feelings that Quinn and
Graham went through. Sex, which is a true and beautiful expression on love…
showing and sharing your love with your other half, your person, it begins to feel
like a mandatory event and it loses that “loving feeling”.
However,
what Ms. Hoover lasers in on is the feelings of hope and eventually betrayal. I
can’t go into that latter feeling as, hello SPOILER alert, but Ms. Hoover
tackles feelings, hopes, and thoughts so perfectly. Hope can be such a touchy
subject, a slippery slope for people hanging on by their teeth. Hope can be the
perfect emotional boost needed for some, however, if you’re hoping for something
that is nearly impossible. It becomes the one thing that keeps you searching
for that needle in a needleless-haystack. It becomes destructive.
So, more on the book and less of my impressions and feelings
because I fear I could go on and on with the psychology behind All Your
Perfects. Quinn and Graham were incredibly relatable characters. I loved them,
even though there were times when I was screaming at them! Quinn's mind was a
bit much to handle at times and I can remember those days way too vividly. I
wanted to both shake and hug her at the same time! All Your Perfects takes a
realistic look at infertility and how it can tear a marriage apart. I've
personally been there and done that but feel so lucky that my marriage survived
and we have one beautiful daughter that came from our struggle, our love.
However, the dark areas of this book are nicely swaddled inside the romance of the
characters memories of their budding relationship. I’ll be honest; this helped
the book feel a lot less harsh when it came to reading the most painful moments
of their deteriorating marriage. All Your Perfects is a heartbreaking and
completely endearing story that gave the infertility I struggled with a bit of
an outlet.
I
received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased
Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my
opinions are just that... my opinions.
