Perfect by Cecelia Ahern
3.0

So I finished this last night and I am conflicted. I really enjoyed book one and the message the author tried to convey but this book fell a bit flat for me. I kept waiting for something more to happen and really it could have definitely been one whole book without the 80% filler that was book two.

- the romance really came out of nowhere in this book. there was no build up considering c + c barely spoke a sentence to each other at the ends of book one and the second chapter they are basically in love. I wanted more of a build up and we didn’t get it.
- the quest to show the truth started off strong - I liked the compound idea but the were there for a chapter and then they went. I wish this was explored more.
- the ending was fine but I kind of felt let down by it and I wanted the lead up to the reveal to be a lot more intense.

Definitely a book I would have loved more in my divergent/hunger games era.
