Synopsis

The thrilling, shocking and romantic sequel to the bestselling YA debut FLAWED is finally here. When we embrace all our flaws, that's when we can finally become PERFECT...

Celestine North lives in a society that demands perfection. After she was branded Flawed by a morality court, Celestine's life has completely fractured - all her freedoms gone.

Since Judge Crevan has declared her the number one threat to the public, she has been a ghost, on the run with the complicated, powerfully attractive Carrick, the only person she can trust. But Celestine has a secret - one that could bring the entire Flawed system crumbling to the ground.

Judge Crevan is gaining the upper hand, and time is running out for Celestine. With tensions building, Celestine must make a choice: save only herself, or risk her life to save all the Flawed. And, most important of all, can she prove that to be human in itself is to be Flawed...?

Reviews

Love this author, so I'm very pleased she has now written two superb YA stories. Perfect is the sequel to the author's debut YA novel, Flawed. If you have not already read this book, go and get it now, you will not be disappointed. Perfect picks up a few days after book one ends. The last time we saw Celestine she was running away from home as The Guild, more importantly Judge Craven, the one who had her branded 'flawed', are desperate to capture her - so much so, he has had her reported as an enemy to the public and will give rewards to anyone who 'whistleblows' on her. The story starts with her having found temporary safety at her grandfather's farm. But she can't stay there forever. as she is still being hunted by the Guild and becomimg more and more a symbol of resistance. Celestine goes back on the run with Carrick her friend, who develops into a love interest, and who is the only person she can trust. She has to find the one thing that will give her the power to destroy Judge Craven and bring down the Guild for good. Perfect is a fantastic read! Everything I hope for in a book and more! Very hard to place in one genre as it has suspence, mystery, unexpected twists and turns, thought-provoking content, intelligent - and at times witty - dialogue, interesting / intriguing characters who experience character growth, and a splash of romance! I would happily recommend it to 12+ readers who enjoy dystopian novels such as The Hunger Games and Divergent. 427 pages / Ages 12+ / Reviewed by Linda Brown, school librarian.
