All Your Perfects

Product Information

I don't dislike It Starts with Us per se, but it does feel more like a long and unnecessary epilogue to It Ends with Us rather than the separate, worthwhile story it should've been. Colleen Hoover Ebook Boxed Set Hopeless Series: Hopeless, Losing Hope, Finding Cinderella, and Finding Perfect (2022) A continuation of the Hopeless trilogy, this free novella begins with a chance encounter between two teenagers who pretend to fall in love but only for one hour. When the hour is up, one of the pretend lovers is left to wonder if those moments of fake love were real. Fast forward one year, Daniel meets a strange girl named Six who forces him to believe in love at first sight. I’ll admit; the discussion around abuse in this book wasn’t AS bad as in ‘It Ends With Us’, but it still felt pretty one dimensional and pissed me off at times. I can’t for the life of me understand why this series is hailed as one about ending the cycle of abuse, since the cycle of abuse in the books doesn’t even end! i don’t get why this book had to exist. it just feels like she is monetizing off the weird success it ends with us got on booktok, and it definitely reads like a cash grab as well.

Although heart wrenching in parts, at its core All Your Perfects is deeply optimistic, and a powerful reminder that we shouldn’t let the bad things in life outweigh the good. It ends with us was about Lily and her journey to end the cycle of abuse. It starts with Us is about Lily and Atlas navigating life after ending their own cycles. 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! 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.One YA reader, 14-year-old Ash Taylor, tells me Hoover’s is “writing for people who don’t like reading”. Then they amend that: “It’s like fanfic whose inspiration is the novel itself.” Hoover writes to the novelistic form, but isn’t trying to be it. She’s deft, she’s witty, her plots propel and her characters stand up on their own; if she wanted her books to read more like regular, commercial fiction, she would have no problem writing them like that. That’s just not the effect she’s going for. also. every time tiktok is mentioned in a book, an angel loses its wings. you're telling me lily knows about tiktok and gen z but she doesn't know that ellen is a horrible person? ok

She soon finds an unfinished autobiography that reveals a dark family secret that could devastate Verity's husband, and a man Lowen is finding herself undeniably drawn to. 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. The success of Colleen Hoover isn’t a story about an author who can’t get published and through sheer self-belief builds an audience, forcing the industry gatekeepers to listen. She has always been very clear on her legend: she never tried to get a publishing deal, and is very lo-fi and hands-off. She self-published her debut, Slammed, because her mum had just got a Kindle and she wanted to have something to show her. That was late 2011, and within a couple of months she had a sequel, Point of Retreat, uploaded to Wattpad, the self-publishing platform. Wattpad is huge for fanfic – self-published fiction at any length, written by fans of an idol: a musician or actor, or a character from a TV show or video game or other book. Fanfic is idiosyncratic and, as often as not, erotic, for obvious reasons. It Ends With Us should have stayed a standalone. It had the perfect bittersweet ending that was on point with the whole book. This was just meh and didn’t add anything interesting or new to the overall story. Alternating ‘now’ and ‘then’ chapters, juxtaposing Quinn and Graham’s crumbling marriage with their whirlwind romance and their idyllic early years together, provide a welcome respite from the intensity of the couple’s present-day troubles, and help develop the present-day storyline in very clever ways. Hoover’s effortless prose only adds to the brilliance of this novel.I know people are going to be mad at how often Ryle shows up here but that’s the reality of how abusive situations are, they don’t just die or leave you alone— colleen did a fantastic job at showing how realistic this situation is, at how much of a gaslighter he is. One of Hoover’s most popular titles and the subject of the forthcoming movie starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, It Ends With Us follows Lily, a hardworking business owner who meets a too-good-to-be-true neurosurgeon, Ryle Kincaid. The two fall dangerously in love, but Lily is left thinking of her first love, Atlas Corrigan, who suddenly reappears in her life, threatening her relationship with Ryle. 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.

They say there's a fine line between love and hate. Well, Warren is willing to test the theory with a fiery new roommate, Bridgette. The pair move in together with visions of an exciting new connection but soon realise they can't stand to be in the same room. Can Will turn Bridgette's passion into love? Maybe. With that being said; I read It Ends With Us in 2016. I truly loved how it ended, I thought it was the end. I did not ever expect it starts with us and yet I could not think of what a beautiful and necessary addition this is. Morgan Grant and her 16-year-old daughter Clara are far from close. But they're forced together when they lose the one person that can keep the peace between them: beloved father and husband, Chris. Can they rebuild their relationship or will they drift apart for good?Twenty-one-year-old Auburn Reed’s life is shattered. With a plan to rebuild from nothing, she takes a job at a Dallas art studio where she, naturally, meets a mysterious artist, Owen Gentry. The two connect and Auburn learns that Owen is hiding a secret past that threatens to destroy everything she has left, which isn’t much. I read the book," she said. "Halfway through, I'm just freaking out. Who would have thought reading could be enjoyable?"

Finding Perfect brings together characters and storylines from Hopeless, Losing Hope, Finding Cinderella, and All Your Perfects. Delivering the conclusions we've been waiting for through the eyes of Daniel from Finding Cinderella, this is the heartwarming ending you wanted. Beyah has had to make her own way in life after an upbringing of poverty and neglect. A death in the family means Beyah has to spend her summer in the mountains with her estranged father, where she meets Samson, the privileged boy next door. Unlikely lovers, the pair are drawn to each other, with dramatic, romantic consequences.For the Ryle apologist and stans: I’m so glad Colleen wrote this book because there’s NO room for y’all’s bullshit. He is an abuser. This isn’t a dark romance. This is a contemporary romance where an abuser stays abusive, continues to be abusive in the tiniest ways and the cycles are broken. He truly and will forever be a terrible person and I’m so glad that this book continuously highlighted that. Abusers don’t “change” and even if they do, the cycle should be broken forever. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue loving her...
