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 that to follow his heart
and achieve his perfect performance, he'll be living a life his
ancestors would never have understood.
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.
