In Perfect, Cecelia Ahern's thrilling sequel to Flawed, Celestine must make a choice: save just herself or risk her own life to save all Flawed people.
Celestine North lives in a society that demands perfection. After she was branded Flawed by a morality court, Celestine's life has completely fractured—all her freedoms gone.
Since Judge Crevan has declared her the number one threat to the public, she has been a ghost, on the run with Carrick—the only person she can trust.
But Celestine has a secret—one that could bring the entire Flawed system crumbling to the ground. A secret that has already caused countless people to go missing.
Judge Crevan is gaining the upper hand, and time is running out for Celestine. With tensions building, can she prove that to be human in itself is to be Flawed?

Gr 8 Up-This exciting dystopian sequel to Flawed continues as Celestine, a biracial 18-year-old, branded Flawed both physically and figuratively, has eluded the powerful Guild and is hiding on her grandfather's farm. Whistle-blowers are hunting for her on behalf of Crevan, the Guild's head judge, who is desperate to find her. He believes Celestine has damning incriminating video footage of him abusing his power. After she miraculously escapes nearly being burned alive in Granddad's outdoor cooking pit, Celestine is discovered by Carrick, the fellow Flawed prisoner Celestine first saw in jail. They take refuge in a safe haven where other Flawed and non-Flawed work and live. But is it a refuge if there's an informant in their midst? Other than Carrick, all the witnesses who know the truth about what is on the video, or what it reveals about Celestine, have disappeared. The teen has powerful allies willing to help her defeat Crevan, including an ambitious female Guild judge, a lawyer who succeeded in overturning a Flawed verdict, and the leader of a burgeoning political party that opposes the Guild. The only way Celestine can defeat Crevan is to do the unexpected and challenge him on his own turf, but that proves a very dangerous endeavor. Fans of Flawed will enjoy this intriguing story, with its intelligent and gutsy protagonist and its many double crosses and untrustworthy characters, even if a few are a bit over-the-top. VERDICT A strong choice for dystopian collections and where Flawed is popular.-Sharon Rawlins, New Jersey State Library, TrentonCopyright 2017 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.

Eighteen-year-old Celestine has been literally branded as one of the Flawed, a group treated as disposable citizens by popular society. Trying to navigate a disrupted life (and a blossoming romance), she finds that an unsanctioned procedure may be the key to bringing down the unjust system. This sequel to Flawed makes startling parallels to modern society but has trouble moving beyond YA-dystopia banalities.(Copyright 2017 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
