Perfect: A Novel (Flawed, 2) Hardcover – April 4, 2017

Perfect picks up where Flawed left off – Celestine is on the run after being branded as Flawed. Judge Crevan, the man who sentenced her to her five brands and gave her an illegal sixth brand, is determined to find her before she can tell anyone what he did to her. Celestine has to learn who she can trust and what it’s like to live as Flawed.First, let me just say that I love the fact that Flawed was a duology and wasn’t dragged on and on like other series have been. I think two books was the perfect length for this story.Overall, I really enjoyed the book and loved the conclusion. There were some great friendships formed throughout the story, and I loved seeing those grow and develop. I also felt like Celestine was so smart throughout the book! She came up with her own plans and stayed one step ahead of people when it mattered. I felt like she really took a stand in this book, where in Flawed, she sort of wanted to keep her head down. Now, she knows that the Guild is in the wrong, and now she wants to stand up for herself and save her friends and family from being wrapped up in her problems. Celestine was able to inspire others and make them realize that the Flawed system is flawed itself, and she took on a lot of responsibility (and risk) to make that happen.The one thing I didn’t love was the love triangle. I think it wasn’t necessary, since it was very clear from the first book that Celestine wanted to be with Carrick. I do like that Art was brought back, and I think it was mostly clear that Celestine wasn’t flip flopping between the two love interests, but I think it could have been wrapped up in a conversation between Art and Celestine that focused on their past and didn’t involve one of them wanting a future together.All in all, I enjoyed the book and love the way everything was wrapped up. This was a 4 star book for me, and I’d recommend this series for any fans of dystopian books, The Hunger Games, or Divergent! Thank you to Netgalley, Cecelia Ahern, and Feiwel & Friends for an advanced copy of the book. It was my pleasure to provide an honest review.

Perfect was off to a rough start. The recapping seemed endless at the onset, but finally, a third of the way into the book, the story picked up and then things really took off.As I mentioned in my review of Flawed, the author seemed to have a little trouble keeping the rules of her society in line, but much less so this time. There was only one instance that really stood out to me. The flawed are only allowed bland, plain foods in small quantities, but right in the beginning of the book they used a feast as an excuse to hide the main character, Celestine, from her pursuers. Why were the whistle-blowers not having a fit about the flawed feast? Other than that, it was pretty smooth sailing.The second volume to the Flawed/Perfect duology at first seemed as though it was going to be a lot less violent, but that totally changed three-quarters in. There were shocking betrayals throughout, until you had no idea who could be trusted. I loved all the twists and turns the story took. It was so unpredictable and gave me serious anxiety (in a good way.)I'm giving this five stars because the ending was THAT satisfying. All loose ends were tied and you got to see how everyone's life turned out in the end.

Celestine North has had quite an adventure so far. She's met. Rey interesting people along her travels. She has learned that she cannot trust everyone she thought she knew. Celestine needs to only trust herself and people that are the closest to her.Celestine continuously has to question whether a person truly wants to help her or if they are looking for personal gain. Her world is continuously turned upside down. Sometimes Celestine does not know where to run to, how to deal with serious problems but she's far too smart to give up. She works so hard to figure out what to do next, what's the right thing to do, when should I take action and so on. Celestine is a force to be wreckened with.If I had Celestine in my life, I would want her help in solving big issues in my life, around town and around the United States. She inspires me because although she did not choose to be a leader, life's circumstances pushed her toward leadership. She took charge and began making little changes here and there that have impacted so many people. I recommend you to read 'Flawed' and 'Perfect'. The books are inspiring, they have you at the edge of your seat with excitement, they show you the true meant of family and the responsibility of taking charge. I hope you enjoy the books as much as I have. Thank you for joining me once again.-Rebeca

The story continues Celestine’s story of being flawed for doing something that was her moral duty. She endeavours, and succeeds, in proving that the guild is the only flawed ‘party’. I loved the idea of questioning societies ideas on what’s ‘flawed’ and ‘perfect’. I could have willingly and excitedly entered into a debate on the ideas this book throws questions on. We would do well to look at society today with celestine’s bravery. I certainly wish I could.I would truly recommend reading this book. Not just for pleasure but as a means to open your mind to ‘questioning’ the status quo.Brilliant read. I think there is room for a book three ...

In Flawed we are introduced to Celestine North who through an act of unthinking compassion to a man classed “flawed” saw her lose everything.Perfect picks up the story where Flawed left off. Introducing a host of new characters as well as the ones from the previous book we follow Celestine as she fights to free herself and the flawed from the second class lives they are forced to live and show the world that we all have our flaws but that doesn’t make us any less perfect.Definitely recommend checking out this and the original book as one doesn’t really work without the other.

After coming to the end of Flawed I hadn't realised that there was a sequel and had to wait two eager days for this to be delivered so I could find out how Celestine's story continued. This book did not disappoint, I was just as gripped throughout this as I was for Flawed.The story has so many twists and turns, I couldn't put it down and was gutted when it came to an end.I think this and Flawed are Cecelie's best work yet. These two books have made me fall in love with reading again and I can't wait to pick the next one up.

The second and final installment to Celestine's story of being branded flawed and all the injustice she experiences along the way. I enjoy the first book in the series but this second book I couldn't put down. It grabbed me from the beginning and told its story succinctly. With a fast moving pace and little focus on unnecessary story line this book had me hooked. A thrilling end to an interesting read.

Absolutely loved this book. I have read Cecelia Ahern books in the past, which have been standard girlie chic lit, which is my usual holiday read. I got Flawed for my Kindle when I went on holiday earlier in the year and was so surprised by it, totally different from her other books - but I was immediately gripped and literally could not put it down. Obviously, I couldn't wait to download this sequel, which was equally as enjoyable.
