Here I am at the end of my 2nd Hoover book back-to-back and despite it once again being a book full of tones of emotions and I think that I can say that I have a new outlook of life after finishing this one. I found this one completely riveted; The Book has strong characterisation that fuels the entire narrative. I have to say that I just loved the character and despite the times that I was screaming at them at times I just wanted the best for them both.  


I read this over the course of two days, and I had to force myself to put it down. When I wasn’t reading, I was thinking about these characters and how their marriage was going to play out.

 

This takes a realistic look at infertility and how it can tear a marriage apart, which might be hard for some to read. However, the dark parts are nicely wrapped inside the Then sections of the novel exploring when the characters first meet, which helped to harshen the blow when it came to reading the most painfully moments. Overall, I found this to be heartbreaking, endearing, and full of sappy goodness!

Absolutely love this book.

This book is so real. In reality there is no happily ever after.

The story is centre around their hope for a child. It is embedded on every chapter I read.

The book paints 2 different part of Quin & Graham’s relationship. Chapters on ‘Then’; which were filled with how messed up and beautiful their love can be. While Chapters on ‘Now’ will filled with hatred, infertility, infidelity, grief, anxiety.

loved seeing the representation for endometriosis, never read a book including it before. I felt like it could have explained it a bit more as some don’t really know anything about it. Felt very realistic in a marriage life, the heartbreak was definitely felt in me.

This was good! I liked this! And 0 I'm 0t mad even though I said I would be. ( I also said I wasn't going to read anymore of Colleens books but here I am three books later...)

" 'We’re all full of flaws. Hundreds of them. They’re like tiny holes all over our skin. And like your fortune said, sometimes we shine too much light on our own flaws. But there are some people who try to ig0re their own flaws by shining light on other people’s to the point that the other person’s flaws become their only focus. They pick at them, little by little, until they rip wide open and that’s all we become to them. One giant, gaping flaw.' "

took a star away bcs of the things i prefer quinn not to do. few of them are subjectives. the lefts are just about my resentment of quinn as she avoid communicate, discuss, and other type of two sides talking with graham. it could mostly fix a lot of things???? she tends to mourn a lot. busy with her own thoughts. busy with her own presumptions that aren't always right. graham is most likely be the one who always took in charge, took the first step, make the inisiative, while quinn is less active. not trying to sound superior in rls, but we all know the relationship is about both sides efforts. but little did i know, i kept busy raging with my own resentment of quinn only finding out it was the conclusion the author wants to tell. idk if this is a clue of how success she is making me feel, or.. otherwise. but, good advice. sorry if i sound too harsh in this review but.. i said what i thought.

I love this book so much. I LOVE IT. I loved it because it has everything I questioned and feared, and it somehow gave me answers. I know it will not be as accurate as it is in the real world, but knowing some part of it really made me at ease. I always wondered what would happen if what happened in the book happened in real life; it is quite scary, and seeing how realistic the situation they were in made me love the book. I have no idea about the accuracy of it, but it was good enough for me.

3.5⭐️ Just under 100 pages were literally missing from this book so maybe this review isn’t valid idk. Funnily enough I feel like this was the healthiest relationship Colleen hoover has written even if it’s about a failing marriage 🤣

** spoiler alert ** After extreme consideration I would like to give this book maximum 3.5 Stars. This is one of the books that I took a lot of time to read not because of lack of time but solely the plot wasn’t interesting until 50% of the book. I still don’t understand the character of Graham, I get coho writes on real life relationship issues. But a guy cheating on his wife??? And then suddenly regretting right after his wife asked about it? And QUINN FORGIVING HIM? I’m sorry but I don’t accept it. I have my own opinions obviously and cheating is something which is just a no-no. I accept that graham and Quinn had one of the most magical love stories in the starting and part of the reason their marriage almost failed was not because of infertility (not saying that wasn’t a big factor) but they didn’t take enough time to get to know each other before jumping into marriage. I MEAN THE GUY INTRODUCED HER TO HIS FAMILY THE NEXT DAY. The book was good enough only after 50% I was able to read 150 pages within the last 2 days just because there was something that was happening at least.

There are not enough stars for this one! Graham and Quinn appear to have the perfect relationship and the perfect marriage until the stress in infertility literally tears them apart. As they are on their last leg and calling it quits, they have to face reality of their relationship and their secrets. This book really hits home with those suffering from infertility and how it can impact their lives emotionally and physically. Trigger warnings: infertility, miscarriage, strong language and sexual content.

Very quick read, but in a good way. I felt all sorts of emotions, and the ending was perfect.

In our defence, it's hard to admit that a marriage might be over when the love is still there. People are led to believe that a marriage ends only when the love has been lost. When anger replaces happiness. When contempt replaces bliss. But Graham and I aren't angry at each other. We're just not the same people we used to be.

If a scientist could figure out how to align the heart with the brain, there would be very little agony left in the world.

The problem is love and happiness are not concordant. One can exist without the other.

Apologies are good for admitting regret, but they do very little in removing the truth from the actions that caused the regret.

I can spend my time focusing on the perfect version of the life I'll never have or I can spend my time enjoying to life I do have.


And the life I have would provide me with so much opportunity if I would get out of my own head long enough to chase those opportunities.
