Perfect (Impulse #2)

Perfect by Ellen Hopkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow, what a roller coaster of emotions.

The Characters- All the characters were very well thought out and relatable in my opinion. Cara struggling with her sexual orientation was very powerful and heart warming. Kendra's story is unfinished. She was so worried about how she looked that she put her health at risk and made a lot of bad choices. Her story just had no resolution like the others did. Sean had a lot of pressure on him and relied on Cara to ease it. That lead him to make horrible decisions and face the consequences. Andre was scared to be different. He loves to dance but his parents frown upon anything that doesn't give him money. His relationship with Jenna was also very interesting.

The setting- A simple suburban town in Nevada was nice. No complaints what so ever.

The Conclusion- Without spoiling anything I liked the end of this book. I think that all the characters got to have a different look at their choices and become better people... Everyone except Kendra (which makes me mad since her situation was deadly)

The Format- Whyyyyyyyy? I HATED how this book was written. I loved the writing but hated the format. I understand that Ellen is a good poet but if you write a book then don't make it seem like a bunch a poems... I promise you those were not poems. It was hard to keep track of the sentences and stay engaged in the story. Also the first page of each perspective was really odd as well. Sometimes it was very nice and relevant but most of the time it was way off topic and annoying. I took a star off because Ellen was making this amazing story into something it shouldn't of been.
