All Your Perfects: A Novel: 4 (Hopeless)

Product Information

One day, I will have read every single Colleen Hoover book and I will be…hm, what word am I trying to think of? Whatever it is, it matters. Well, I’m speechless because you took out my words and use yours to stab my heart and gave me an incredible emotional roller coaster, and finally made me heal with your epilogue.

The elevator dings and my attention is swept away from my phone and to the doors. When they open, I feel a knot form in my throat. My hand clenches in a fist around my phone when I see the containers of food. The delivery guy begins to walk toward us and my heart takes a beating with every step. Way to pour salt on my wounds, Ethan.Love and Marriage – The novel delves into the complexities of romantic relationships, highlighting the struggles and triumphs of a married couple. The third and final installment in the Slammed trilogy, This Girl takes the familiar story and turns it on its head, with the story unfolding from Will’s perspective, rather than Layken’s. The couple continues to struggle with the shadows of Will’s past, balancing the weight of that with the hope of their future.

What’s the secret to a perfect marriage?’ The old man leaned forward and looked at me very seriously. ‘Our marriage hasn’t been perfect. No marriage is perfect. There were times when she gave up on us. There were even more times when I gave up on us. The secret to our longevity is that we never gave up at the same time.” She never talks to him. Never tells him how she feels. And yet, she still manages to blame him for not knowing how she feels. You’re the white queen of romances ( your Siamese twin Tarryn Fisher shows the ugly parts of romance as the dark queen :)) Later that night, Quinn asked if he held the baby and he lied. Now, at the time, I had been confused as to why he’d lie about that. However, it was all explained in the end. I won’t reveal ANYTHING about Quinn and Graham. I’ll let them tell you who they are through their own story.I’m going to put the trigger and content warnings below this paragraph! But if you want to go into this book completely blind, like many of Colleen Hoover’s readers do, please do not read my review. Plus, honestly? If you don’t have any triggers, it probably is best to go into this book blind. I won’t post any spoilers about the events of this book, but the rest of my review will talk about what this book is centered around. I just finished and really enjoyed the story, so I'd happy to hear other's thoughts or comments as they read. (hide spoiler)] Quinn and Graham’s love story starts out in an unconventional way. From the moment they met, to when they married, to now, 7 years after that, it’s apparent that fate put them together. They are still just as much in love now as they were in the beginning, but things out of their control has changed things for them. Life has a way of doing that. Sometimes love isn’t enough, but sometimes, it is.

Which brings me to my last point. Other readers have said this was an emotional book and I can see that but this felt very manipulative, calculated maximum tear jerk. But one thing I realized about myself as a reader is that the more an author makes the heroine suffer by letting her go through tragedy after tragedy, after the fewer the tears i shed. If you want to see me cry – which, rude? why would you want that? – give me a second chance romance and it will probably deliver. SPOILERS AHEAD - from this book and other Colleen Hoover’s books because I can’t stand her writing and if you love her books DON’T read my review because we’re not going to see eye to eye and I’m okay with that! I’m the residential bitch here, but I solemnly pray all of you who support this BS, never come to a hard time in your life when you go into depression and then get blamed for it and get abandon and betrayed by your spouse. That would be the only way you’d know what the heroine was feeling, but honest to God, no one deserves it. The old man leaned forward and looked at me very seriously. “Our marriage hasn’t been perfect. No marriage is perfect. There were times when she gave up on us. There were even more times when I gave up on us. The secret to our longevity is that we never gave up at the same time.”Sadness is like a spiderweb. You don't see it until you're caught up in it, and then you have to claw at yourself to try to break free." A tragic love story, Layla follows a young couple, Layla and Leeds, whose love is interrupted by a tragic accident that leaves Layla fighting for her life. Soon, Layla recovers physically, but the mental scars remain. The couple visit the bed-and-breakfast where their love began, but Layla’s strange behavior puts a strain on their relationship, pushing Leeds into the arms of another guest. Love triangles ahead! I felt so bad for them and the unfairness of the cards they’d been dealt. I genuinely wanted so badly for them to find a way through the Category 5 storm they were weathering.

If this is what our marriage is.. if this is all it wall ever be.. just me and you.. will that be enough? Am I enough for you, Quinn?' In our defense, it’s hard to admit that a marriage might be over when the love is still there… The problem is, love and happiness are not concordant. One can exist without the other.”No matter how hard I try… no matter how much I love you… I can’t be the one thing you’ve always wanted me to be…” On the other hand, I found both now and then sections overdramatic. I had to roll my eyes on some of Graham's gestures and speeches, and I actually like sappy scenes. Most importantly in sections which takes in the future, I felt like I did not enjoy what I was reading and asked myself why am I reading something that makes me frown. I am OK with crying in books but I actually enjoy sad scenes in most books. In this book, sadly this was not the case. The first installment of the Maybe trilogy, Maybe Someday follows a 22-year-old college student who, after discovering her boyfriend is cheating on her, finds herself interested in her mysterious, guitar-playing neighbor Ridge. You’re left with the beautiful, resounding truth that when love is real and true, it can conquer anything. I’m not sure where this quote is from but it really rings true with this story that “The grass is greenest where you water it.”
