All Your Perfects

Product Information

It Starts with Us shows the after effects of abuse in every form. It shows how realistic, how tragic and how even a happily ever after is still shadowed by the ache and reminder of abuse. When I first finished Hopeless, I went through major withdrawals after becoming so emotionally invested in the characters and their journeys. With so many twists and turns, the reader is left desperate for more, and Hoover delivers with a sequel called Losing Hope that is equally captivating and a novella called Finding Cinderella which expands the literary universe. 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.

After the unexpected death of her Father, Layken reluctantly moves across the country with her Mother for a fresh start. But when Layken meets her new, handsome, slam poetry-loving neighbour, Will Cooper, the move doesn't seem that bad after all. But how will their blossoming romance handle a dark secret..?Verity follows a struggling writer who accepts an unusual gig: to live in the home of a bestselling author and her husband, tasked with finishing that author's outstanding novels because the famous writer is injured and unable to write. As she rifles through Verity’s office, Lowen Ashleigh finds an unfinished autobiography that reveals a dark family secret.

Here, we meet Quinn and Graham. The married couple are deeply in love, but their future is threatened by mistakes made in the past, so, will their love last? You can read this one as a standalone, BTW! All Your Perfects is the latest captivating novel from the mega-bestselling Colleen Hoover. An author with a gift for crafting stories and characters that feel real, her nuanced depiction of a marriage in trouble and well-drawn, all too human characters, make for an absorbing story that is hard to put down. Charlie Wynwood and Silas Nash have been best friends since they were children, and have been in love since they were teenagers. But when they mysteriously wake up with no memory of each other, they have to work together to find out what happened and see if they can fall in love again.After surviving the things that tested them in the beginning, Layken and Will are sure their love is stronger than ever. But the tests keep coming with the death of Layken's Mother, and Will is soon desperate to prove to Layken that he's the man she believes he is. Lily hasn't always had it easy, but that's never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She's come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up - she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily's life suddenly seems almost too good to be true. It’s funny how you can be so happy with someone and love them so much, it creates an underlying sense of fear in you that you never knew before them. The fear of losing them. The fear of them getting hurt. I imagine that’s what it’s like when you have children. It’s probably the most incredible kind of love you’ll ever know, but it’s also the most terrifying.”

I also want to add, I loved the side characters. Every single one of them. Theo and Josh stole my goddamn heart. The only thing I rolled my eyes at was Lily writing to Ellen still but alas a book can’t be too perfect. I’ve read It Ends with Us years ago and that book made me bawl my eyes out, because it was such an honest and realistic story about a women finally ending the circle of abuse in her family. IEWU had a purpose and meaning. Whereas, It Starts With Us reads like every other second-chance romance between two past lovers that shared a connection in their childhood. Reading Lily and Atlas romance gave me n o t h i n g. This was dryer than any cactus in the dept of the Sahara. Their interactions made me yawn, I’m sorry but Atlas was better as a side character in IEWU. Atlas is (maybe) the most unproblematic Colleen Hoover Hero, but imo that also makes him the most boring one. A love story between writer and muse, November 9 follows Fallon, a girl with a plan to move across the country, who meets Ben, an aspiring novelist. The pair spends Fallon’s last day in L.A. together and vow to return to each other every year on, you guessed it, November 9. Released in October 2022 in the prequel to It Ends With Us, we hear Atlas Corrigan's side in the story when it comes to his and Lily's relationship. We can't wait to read the truth! Colleen Hoover's books have been trending on TikTok for a while, and it’s not hard to see why – the prolific American author has penned more than 20 novels in recent years and shows no sign of slowing down.The only thing these stories have in common is their starting point. Each author showcased in this anthology was featured in The Bookworm Box in 2020. Each author has graciously donated their story so that 100% of profits from this anthology will be going to the various charities The Bookworm Box is able to support because of you, the readers. in conclusion, sometimes you try things and they don’t work out colleen! for me it is ice skating, for you it is writing. and that’s ok! This all sounds rather harsh, but it's really not that bad. It was an alright way to pass a few hours if you're not quite ready to leave the world of Lily and Atlas. This pleasant and unexciting story won't leave you breathless, but it shouldn't offend either. Just be ready to forget about it almost as soon as you're done. The BookTok format is short and sweet: a user will appear and speak from the heart about a book they love or hate, for 15 seconds, a minute, three minutes or 10 minutes. “Content on TikTok tends to be more authentic,” says Edel Flood, head of lifestyle and education for TikTok UK. “You don’t need any video editing experience or a big following. It’s more like getting a book recommendation from a friend.” Authenticity is a huge preoccupation on the platform – a constant dialogue between readers about who is most authentically reflecting their experience, and interrogation of the authors, how authentic they were when they started out, and whether they’ve retained their authenticity in the teeth of their own success. Hopeless follows two young lovers with dark pasts and secrets, who explore first love and ghosts of the past. Sky, a home-schooled and adopted 17-year-old girl, convinces her mother to let her attend public school for her final year, where she reunites with Dean, a childhood friend turned promiscuous popular guy.

Quinn and Graham didn’t meet in the most conventional way. After all, how many couples can say they have their cheating exes to thank for bringing them together? Despite this less-than-typical start, it’s clear from the beginning that Quinn and Graham are destined for each other, and for the first few years of their marriage, they are completely in love, blissfully happy. The sequel chronicles the blossoming romance between an outspoken florist and a sensitive restauranteur during the fallout of the florist's toxic marriage to an abusive neurosurgeon.

Not to mention the fact that Lily’s closest friends are Ryle’s sister and his best friend; it is close to impossible to heal from abuse when you are still in such close proximity to your abuser. The way Allysa and Marshall talk about Ryle as if he’s a little kid who just gets mean sometimes, instead of the violent wife beater and attempted rapist that he is, is so strange…. Maybe I’m the weird one, but if someone I “love like a brother” were to push their partner down the stairs and bite them so hard they bled, I simply wouldn’t love them like a brother anymore!
