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?

I had high expectations for Perfect after obtaining a review copy of Flawed last year from Netgalley. I was not disappointed.
I thought Perfect was great. Once I started reading the book I raced through it in one sitting, unable to stop reading.
I loved the concept behind Perfect (and Flawed). Celestine's society is one messed up place to be. The very nature of being a human is to make mistakes and learn from them. Nobody is perfect. If such a society existed I would be covered in Flawed brand marks.
Many of the characters from Flawed put in an appearance in Perfect and there are a bunch of new ones as well. I liked how the recurring characters develop and mature over the course of the novel, especially Celestine. In Flawed, Craven is almost cartoonish as a bad guy and becomes a well-rounded villain in Perfect.
Perfect reminds me a lot of books like The Hunger Games and similar YA dystopian novels.
Perfect is well worth a read.
