The most important thing that I took from this book was the line, "I'm learning how to wear my struggle as a badge and not be ashamed of it." I've struggled a lot with my mental health over the last four years, and the thing I've found helps the most is this. Recognizing my feelings, experiencing them, crying them out if I need to, and never being ashamed of them. A jelenben az életük mégis fájdalommal, gyásszal, könnyekkel, kimondatlan szavakkal, és egy kettejük közötti hatalmas távolsággal teljes. A szerelem még mindig ott van, de beárnyékolja mindaz, ami az elmúlt hét évben történt, és ami nem történt meg… Lassan mindketten falat húztak maguk köré, hogy a másik elől elrejtsék a szomorúságot, ami életük minden pillanatát átjárja, és ezt a falat talán barmilyen erős is egy szerelem, még az sem képes áthatolni. When you meet someone who is good for you, they won’t fill you with insecurities by focusing on your flaws. 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. They'll fill you with inspiration, because they'll focus on all the best parts of you." It felt like an unnecessary attempt to make the story more suspenseful and emotional than it is. But whatever reason Hoover had in using this narrative style AGAIN, it didn’t work for me. I found myself getting angry and feeling manipulated. But more on that later.

Colleen Hoover is the #1 New York Times and International bestselling author of multiple novels and novellas. She lives in Texas with her husband and their three boys. She is the founder of The Bookworm Box, a non-profit book subscription service and bookstore in Sulphur Springs, Texas. Quinn as well as likewise Graham pleased in unusual scenarios yet it appeared destiny indicated for them to be with each various other. Their love was a fairytale till the gladly ever after curdle. Their understandings of an outstanding collaboration as well as likewise excellent family members create right into an uncontrollable as well as likewise hazardous obstacle that is harming their lives. Fontos dologra hívja fel a figyelmet: egyetlen házasság sem tökéletes, de tudni kell kezelni a problémákat és kitartani egymás mellett, bármit is hoz az élet – ha igazán szereti egymást a két fél. Én örömmel konstatáltam, hogy Quinn és Graham szerették egymást eléggé ahhoz, hogy ne eldobják, hanem megjavítsák. Nagyon tetszett a doboz ötlete. Talán nekem is szükségem lesz erre a dobozra, jó gondolat, amely segíthet felébreszteni a kihúnyó érzelmeket, emlékeztet arra, hogyan is indultak a dolgok. What’s the secret to such 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.”Minden egyes szó a lelkem legmélyéig hatolt, és míg a múlt fejezetei mosolyt csaltak az arcomra, addig a jelenben a főszereplőkkel együtt sírtam."

I open my mouth, but uncertainty is all that comes out. “Are you . . . are you sure? Maybe those sounds aren’t coming from Ethan’s apartment. Maybe it’s the couple in the apartment next door.” I’ve also found that every book has many little imperfections. The Old Bard of Avon included in this, but it’s about how all those tiny little imperfections (this metaphor is becoming very rhythmic with this book’s title) wrap up to make it perfect. That’s that last star - in a world where nothing can be perfect, that last star is handed to how beautiful an author can execute it's imperfections. Szerintem a Slammedről órákig írtam az értékelésem és nem azért, mert nagyon hosszú lenne. Az volt az első CoHo könyvem, ez a sokadik és megint itt vagyok egy nehéz, több órás értékelési folyamat elején. A karakterek jóvel idősebbek, mint a korábbi Hoover élményeimben, ezt én pozitívumnak éltem meg, érdekes volt belelátni egy ilyen sok éve funkcionáló házasság színfalai mögé.All your perfects”, is told in alternating past and present chapters. In the past, you’ll learn about how Quinn and Graham meet when their worlds are crumbling apart, fall in love, and deciding to build a future together. In the present, you’ll learn about how Quinn and Graham are struggling to hold on to their happily ever after. They struggle to mend their relationship because they face a lot of challenges that threaten their broken marriage. In this story, you’ll learn that there is no manual on how to fix a marriage or make it perfect. And it’s up to Quinn and Graham to choose whether they’ll overcome or succumb to the challenges. Whether they’ll step out of the constraints of the norm and be willing to forge a new path. Either together or alone. I’m not a super affectionate or emotional person. I’m not a lovey dovey kissy huggy person but for some reason those are the kind of books I want to read. I'm still crying. I finished this book at 4:06 in the morning and I'm still sitting here re-reading some of the paragraphs and sobbing to myself. I don't think I have ever not regretted reading a book like this one. (Sorry for the double negative, it's one of those days, bear with me) The most important thing I like about it, everything was so real, natural , it’s about the marriage, it’s about struggle, it’s about unconditional love and it’s about learning to forgive each other but mostly learning to forgive yourself.
