I've read almost all of Ellen Hopkins' books besides Fallout, I think. I absoloutley adore them. She is one of my favorite authors. I love how she writes, it's so artistic and beautiful. She really makes you connect to her characters, and I love how she normally always has more than one main character to follow, and you can always at least relate to one.

I expected this book to be AMAZING, and I even bought it the day it came out. I've been waiting for it to come out, and I'm not gonna lie, I was really quite disappointed. I thought it would be so relatable because I'm very self conscious, and I thought that I would for sure relate to some of the characters, if not all of them. I did relate to some of them, but I never felt THAT connected to them. I feel like a couple of them are just randomly placed in there just so that she had more to write about and to make the book longer.

Just because this book wasn't one of my favorites of hers, I still love her, and she will always be one of my favorite authors (especially after Identical and Tricks). I just wasn't as impressed with this book as I thought I would be. And if anything, the end kind of confused me... I'm gonna have to ask my friend who has read it about the end, because it didn't feel like everything came together, like most of Ellen Hopkins' books do at the end. I give Perfect 2/5 stars, and maybe if I ever read it again, everything might come together better and I might enjoy it better.
