"The #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Ends with Us--whose writing is "emotionally wrenching and utterly original" (Sarah 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?"--

This one hits so close to home. So very close. So many things I could identify with Quinn, we might as well be kindred spirits. I felt my soul crushed every time Quinn broke down, I cried along as she battled with her inner self, and I wept for that one single defect we both share.
To be so deeply affected by this book... I had no inkling that it will happen. But then, as the story progressed, I found myself wearing Quinn's shoes. And my heart breaks, over and over again. My heart breaks for Quinn, for Graham and for their marriage. Some situation, some monologues are so eerily similar to what I've been through, I had to stop and take a deep breath. The crying-in-the-shower, the withdrawal, the emotional roller coaster, the avoidance... it's so familiar, it hurts.
“Avoidance sounds like such a harmless word, but that one word can cause some severe damage to a relationship.”
And yet, avoidance is the only way we know to shield ourselves from the hurt we know will come.
Wat een mooi boek zeg! Heel erg mooi geschreven en ik vond de laatste paar hoofdstukken ook heel erg mooi. Het beschrijft een koppel wat al een aantal jaar is getrouwd en de “problemen” die je kan ondervinden en hoe ze daarmee omgaan.
Ik vond het erg leuk dat we tussen heden en verleden switchte.
for me this book is too painful and too personal.
