Review: All Your Perfects, by Colleen Hoover



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.


Review
5 out of 5 stars


One thing is for certain when you start a new Colleen Hoover book, she’s going to take you on a truly one-of-a kind unique experience.  Her stories’ originality continually blow me away.  I feel like if I go into too much detail with this review I’m going to ruin the experience for anyone reading this review so please bear with me as I try and explain my thoughts on this gem!

All Your Perfects is told from our heroine Quinn’s POV.  Throughout the entire book one chapter is told from the past and the next in the present.  Quinn isn’t going to be an easy character for a lot of people to like.  Her story is absolutely devastating and there were so many times when I wanted to scream open your mouth, say something, do anything, and just take a baby step.  But in that same breath I could empathize with her.  I got her struggle, I was able to even sympathize with her obsession.  It literally broke my heart, there were points I honestly wanted to put the book down because I was so sad but at the same time I needed to know how her story was going to end, so I waded through the heavy emotions and pushed forward.  Quinn is one of the most real characters I’ve ever read about. 

Graham our hero is the entire package, talk about a beacon of light.  He fully encompassed romance, sensitivity, humility, grace and determination.  He loves his wife and is prepared to do whatever it takes, even if it means losing her completely in order to put her happiness above his own.  In the end when the contents of “the box” were revealed I was completely blown away by his honesty, sacrifice and pure love.  I have to say it was my absolute favorite part of the entire book!

Quinn and Graham’s story from beginning to end was incredibly well executed and packed full of honest, real, and raw emotions.  It’s a genuine story with what I consider a perfectly designed ending.  All Your Perfects may not be a story I read time and time again, but it’s a story that left an imprint on my heart I won’t soon forget.

Review: November 9 by Colleen Hoover





NOVEMBER NINE
BY COLLEEN HOOVER

"November 9 is yet another breathtaking novel by Colleen Hoover that's full of blushing, gushing, and heartache. I loved every page and breathed in every beautiful word."
—Anna Todd, Author of the After series



Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day of her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon’s last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist.


Can Ben’s relationship with Fallon—and simultaneously his novel—be considered a love story if it ends in heartbreak?

Review:  5 of 5 Stars

The hardest reviews for us to write are the books that we love.  We feel completely incapable of expressing our love for it on a level that translates our feelings adequately.  And it is even more difficult to know what to say when you don't want to ruin someone else's experience in reading the same book.  For days leading up to the release of the book, we were equally excited and nervous.  Excited because, well, it is Colleen Hoover!  Nervous because we weren't sure  November 9 could live up to our expectations?  Simply put, it exceeded them!

If you haven't read the synopsis of this book, don't read it. I intentionally didn't read it and I was blown away by the concept and the plot line.  I always know that with CoHo, I never know what I am going to get, but it is going to be amazing.  

Without going into a lot of detail about the characters, I can guarantee you are going to love Fallon and Ben.  Their chemistry is off the charts.  They are endearing, unique, and both POV's are well written.  Colleen doesn't waste a lot of time boring you with details, which we appreciate.  She gives you just enough details to keep you interested and engaged, but not so many that it is overwhelming.  This book spans many years in 320 pages, but I don't feel like you are missing anything on their journey.

So, what can you expect from this 5-Star Colleen Hoover book?  Great characters, a killer plot, multiple surprises along the way, some tears, and a perfect happily ever after.  November 9, guaranteed to give you a book hangover for days.
