Perfect
Ellen Hopkins
from the book...
Everyone has something, someone, somewhere else that
they'd rather be. For four high-school seniors, their goals of
perfection are just as different as the paths they take to get there.
Cara's parents' unrealistic expectations have already sent her twin
brother Conner spiraling toward suicide. For her, perfect means
rejecting their ideals to take a chance on a new kind of love. Kendra
covets the perfect face and body - no matter what surgeries and drugs
she needs to get there. To score his perfect home run - on the field
and off - Sean will sacrifice more than he can ever win back. And Andre
realizes to follow his heart and achieve his perfect performance, he'll
be living a life his ancestors would never understand.
Everyone wants to be perfect, but when perfection loses its meaning,
how far will you go? What would you give up to be perfect?
A riveting and startling companion to the bestselling Impulse,
Ellen Hopkins's Perfect exposes the harsh truths about what it
takes to grow up and grow into our own skins - our own selves.
