Beskrivning

In the vibrant landscape of high school, four seniors navigate their hopes and dreams against a backdrop of pressures and expectations. Each character grapples with their own internal struggles, yearning for an escape from the confines of their reality. As they chase ideals of perfection, their lives intertwine in unexpected ways, unveiling the complexities that lie beneath the surface of their seemingly perfect worlds.

Through evocative prose, the narrative delves deep into the psyche of these young individuals, revealing their desires and fears. They confront issues of identity, acceptance, and the harsh judgments that accompany ambition. The weight of societal expectations pushes them to the brink, forcing each to question what it truly means to be perfect and what sacrifices must be made in pursuit of that unattainable goal.

Amidst the turmoil, moments of hope and resilience shine through, as the characters learn that the journey to self-acceptance is often fraught with challenges. Their stories resonate with anyone who has ever felt out of place or overwhelmed, reflecting the universal struggle for belonging and understanding in a world that can feel unforgiving.

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!
