Description

What would you give up to be perfect? Four teens find out in the New York Times bestselling companion to Impulse.
Everyone has something, someone, somewhere else that they’d rather be. For four high school seniors, their goals of perfection are just as different as the paths they take to get there.
Cara’s parents’ unrealistic expectations have already sent her twin brother Conner spiraling toward suicide. For her, perfect means rejecting their ideals to take a chance on a new kind of love. Kendra covets the perfect face and body—no matter what surgeries and drugs she needs to get there. To score his perfect home run—on the field and off—Sean will sacrifice more than he can ever win back. And Andre realizes that to follow his heart and achieve his perfect performance, he’ll be living a life his ancestors would never understand.
A riveting and startling companion to the bestselling Impulse, Ellen Hopkins’s Perfect exposes the harsh truths about what it takes to grow up and grow into our own skins, our own selves.

Meh

This book was not as exciting as the other books. Andre's narrative showed a complete lack of cultural competency. I wish the author had stuck to writing about issues and subjects that she is actually knowledgeable on.

Perfection

This book is amazingly written, literally perfection. Ellen Hopkins has such amazing talent. Reading her books takes you into the story. When I finished reading this, I felt loss (I won't say why so I don't ruin the ending for anyone.) Her words are so powerful, she makes you hang onto every detail, eager to get back to each character, not wanting to put the book down! She writes about real life issues that anyone can relate to or empathize with. You'll want to re-read them again because they are just as great the second time (a few books are even better the second time!)

Amazing

My friend got me started on Ellen hopkins books, of course crank first, read it in one night just couldn't put it down. Her books are amazing she always leave u wanting to read more, the whole time on edge thinking what is going to happen next. Everyone of her book are better then any movie. This book way a amazing like the rest and I love the connection to impulse, I got to the part of Connors death and it all hit me " this is Connor from impulse" I loved reading a way different story but all the same. Ellen Hopkins is one of the most amazing authors ever!

Perfect.

Bought this irl. LOVED IT. Finished it in around 8 hours. It's so amazing, yet heartbreaking. Seriously, read it. But read Impulse first, if you haven't already...
