I liked the sequel slightly better because it fleshed out the characters a bit more and I really loved the resolution of this book. The themes it explored were pertinent to real life and it was an emotional rollercoaster to follow the main character through her journey!

The thing that I love most about dystopian books, is that they either address a problem or leave a moral message to give people strength. This book was so good, I don’t even know how to put it to words. Everything, the message, the writing, the style, the plot, the emotion the reader was left with, almost everything was unpredictable. The biggest problem I see in book series that I don’t enjoy is that the first book was amazing, and then the later books destroy it. That didn’t happen with this series. The first book was amazing, and I think the second book made it greater. I think I found my new favorite book.

Exciting plot, but the forced love triangle was distracting

The ending of this book is, I’d say, perfect 👌🏼

I’m 99% sure that in the first book Celestine’s birthday was supposed to be months away?? What’s up with that?

Anyways, this was an alright book. Pretty cliché, but there’s not necessarily anything wrong with that.
The ending felt a little weak, though. I kept waiting for a more dramatic twist or a less happy ending.

It's been a while since I last read Flawed, and going into Perfect I was worried that I would have forgotten everything that happened. Thankfully I was able to jump back into the book without too much hassle of trying to remember who was who.

When I began reading it was instantly clear that Perfect had a different feel than Flawed. Celestine is still on the run but she is more determined than ever for the truth to come out, she may be hiding among other flawed, but she is not going down without a fight. Celestine is finding it hard to hide, knowing that all Crevan wants is something she doesn't have, and it takes a lot of bravery for the item to be obtained. But will the truth ever come out?

Perfect was a book that took me longer than expected to get through. There was a lot of travelling, and moving around, and repeating the same lines, and I did struggle trying to see past this, knowing that at some point in the book we would turn a corner and the issue of the flawed would be dealt with. I liked that we get to see several characters develop through this series and change thier perspective on a lot of things. There were definitely surprises along the way with this book, a couple of them I did not see coming.

Perfect didn't blow me away like I expected it to, especially after how much I enjoyed Flawed, but it did end the series well. I didn't feel as connected to the story as much as I hoped to, but the characters did manage to keep me wanting to know what was going to happen next.

Final Verdict
Although I didn't find Perfect an amazing read, it definitely needs to be read if you've read Flawed, if only to see how it all plays out.
