Flawed
by Cecelia Ahern
Everyone is flawed, but not everyone gets caught.
Celestine North is the perfect girl, getting perfect grades, with the perfect boyfriend, a perfect family and perfect friends. She even wears a charm identifying her perfectness.
As a budding mathematician, Celestine views everything in definites, positives and negatives, black and white.
In one evening, the foundations of her perfect world begin to crack. The cracks get bigger and wider until the unbelievable happens. Our perfect girl is perfect no longer.
being found to be flawed slowly unblinkers our heroine and reveals her complicity in perpetuating the unfair, unbalanced '(f)laws' of society.
I love Cecilia Ahern's adult books and was excited to see her debut into the YA market. It's a wonderful book of how an averge girl unwittingly turns into a pariah. Her very innocence, her naivety, coupled with her unfaltering attitude about right and wrong, brings about not only her downfall, but also society's. She has her 'flaws' and Ms Aherns doesn't put Celestial on a pedestal, even though everyone else does. I like that she reacts to situations honestly.
Don't expect the sophistication of Ms Ahern's adult novels. This is YA and written for a younger audience with one graphic branding scene, although the real horror of the story is the complete lack of humanity and compassion shown by a brainwashed, frightened public, reminiscent of the days of segregation or even the fanaticism of Nazi Germany.
It is interesting how her faith and trust in people is turned and turned, like a magician's coin - the government, the Guild, the press, her teachers - each flip revealing a different face.
A wonderful, thought-provoking read.
