It also showed how a couple who are still in love with each other can also be unhappy. Most married couples in this situation end up making up things in their heads that are not necessarily true about each other (like in the case of Quinn and Graham) creating more hurt in an already bad situation. The men are not left out here because Graham’s character also shows how this situation also affects men as well.Īnother thing this story brings to the forefront is how a lack of communication in a good marriage can literally ruin it. You can only fully understand if you have had infertility problems. I felt her pain and sometimes wished that she would concentrate less on her inability to get pregnant but I know it is a difficult thing to do. Quinn’s character represents how most women feel when they struggle with simple things like being on social media (where most women’s timelines are covered with pictures of their children and discussions around motherhood), having to answer questions and receive unsolicited advice from family, friends or even total strangers about your infertility, the high cost of fertility treatments and the depression that comes with it. Infertility is a very hard place to be especially for women. They’ll fill you with inspiration, because they’ll focus on all the best parts of you.” “When you meet someone who is good for you, they won’t fill you with insecurities by focusing on your flaws.

I loved their romance, openness and devotion to each other. It made the experience pleasurable because recapping the times in the past where they were happy and without a care in the world brought more perspective to the story. I liked how the author wrote the book with each chapter alternated in past and present times. I enjoyed reading this story although the theme is a very heavy one. Graham and Quinn have to fight for their marriage despite all that they are going through and this book highlights their journey and how they overcome their fears with utmost perfection. These issues have down-spiraled into other problems in their otherwise perfect marriage such as depression, miscarriage, infidelity, grief and abuse. They have now been married for seven years and are struggling with infertility issues. ‘All Your Perfects’ is a beautifully written story about Quinn and Graham who meet under unusual circumstances and later fall in love. I was particularly drawn to this book because it is a romance novel about a married couple which is usually rare.

However, upon reflection, I decided to give the author another try by reading this book. It wasn’t what I had expected so I wasn’t keen on reading another book by her. “If you only shine light on your flaws, all your perfects will dim.”Įarlier this year, I read a book by the author ‘ Regretting You’ (You can read my review HERE).
