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.

Personally I liked the first book more than this book, but the writing was truly beautiful. I really liked the characters, especially Andre and Cara. I don't know why, but I just wanted a little bit more, but overall it was a lovely read.
This book put me into a state of mind, I personally felt connected to a character in the book since I am constantly criticized for my looks so i constantly work out, and eat little bits at times. I am a healthy person, but this let me see people are not alone and can have people who care.
You've done it again Ellen Hopkins! I loved how this was more of a companion to Impulse and not a sequel. I also really enjoyed how there was so much interweaving of stories between the four characters. You think you know what is going to happen next - nope, another turn of events! Well done Hopkins. And what a unique way to end this book - Sometimes you have to not play it safe to find your dream!
