Flawed was absolutely amazing left me with a huge book hangover.
22/03/2018 EDIT: I HAVE IT IN MY HANDS I'M GOING IN YEESSSSS.
This book is not released until April, I believe, so I will keep it brief. I was entertained. It was a good followup to Flawed. There was more romance and the love triangle was more prominent although it's pretty obvious what was going to happen in the end (in my view at least) so I could deal with it. There were a few times I got frustrated at Celestine and felt the drama factor was amped up a little too high. But, overall. it was done in an acceptable way and my issues are few. The pacing is g..more

Cecelia Ahern, the international best-selling author, pens the sequel to the Flawed, an YA dystopian series, called, Perfect that opens with the protagonist on the run as a fugitive from the society that labelled and branded her as the most Flawed, despite of her kind and perfect heart, and time is running short and that she mu..more

i enjoyed this story a lot! it is one of a kind. i love the author, the way she presents the reality we often ignore.
for me, flawed and perfect are her best book so far. this books remaind me why i started reading each of them.
the stories are fresh, emotional, profund and a great lesson.
a must from cecelia ahern.
Celestine North is the most Flawed person there is, just for standing up for basic human rights, and going against the Guild. Now on the run, Celestine can't trust anyone. With the new knowledge that she holds the power of destroying The Guild, Celestine must learn who she can really trust, and figure out a plan to reverse her branding, and put a stop to discrimination against the flawed people.

I don't really have a lot to say about this one because if you're planning on reading it then you've probably already read Flawed. And this is pretty much more of the same really.

Did I really use the words “a definitely extreme roller coaster ride of emotions” on Flawed??? Did I really do that?? I thought that Flawed is already an extreme roller coaster ride. But NO. It isn't the Flawed that is extreme. It is Perfect that is extreme. And I'm sure of it.

Honestly, I thought she was pretty decent in Flawed, and I expected so much more from her. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a Mare Situation™ - when a character turns ridiculous, stupid and annoying in the sequel.

It was a really good conclusion if you're a fan of books with political scenes and tones, books with a semi dystopian world or books with character growth I would recommend this one !!!
I just can't do it anymore. Book 1 was so good for the first 40% and then sooo bad; and here's book 2 with even worse writing than the last half of book 1. If I didn't know any better I'd say that someone wrote the first half of book 1 and a totally different person wrote the rest and has carried into book 2.
This is book 2 in a series that has a brilliant dystopian premise. Right up there with Divergent and Hinger Games for creativity and impact. Unfortunately the rest of it is painfu..more
A few years ago, I fell dizzily in love with YA Dystopia books. But my love affair swiftly came, and went . After a while, they all felt the same. I burnt out on the insta-love, the ya troupes, and the empowered teenagers who saved the world every time. Perfect by Cecelia Ahern pulled me back into the genre, simply because I enjoy her adult fiction. And I’m glad. It was a read that entertained and reminded of lots of pluses about this ge..more
The irony of justice is that the feelings that precede it and those which fruit from it are never fair and balanced. Not even justice itself is perfect.
4 solid stars
I enjoyed 'Perfect' nearly as much as 'Flawed' before, it was a really good conclusion and answered pretty much all of my questions.
The story picks up exactly where it left us before, so I had no difficulties getting back into the story.

I'm actually torn because these books were so packed full of YA tropes that I should have hated them. The good girl turned bad. The misunderstood sister/mother.

I wasn't the biggest fan of Flawed to begin with, but I was curious to see how the story ended up. I did think this was slightly better than Flawed, but it still missed the mark for me.
It still bothered me how many times Celestine repeated herself. Especially about being Flawed and having six brands and all of that jazz. It felt like I was being hit of the head with that information a couple of times.
I still don't see the chemistry between Celestine and Carrick. I also don't see the c..more
i wasn’t a big fan of the romance in the first book. i didn’t like either love interests, and i felt that neither the romantic subplots nor the characters got the development the needed. they were just kinda there.

This is disappointing to say the least. The premise of this duology had so much potential, and after a fairly 'meh' experience of Flawed, I had hoped that Perfect would finish the series in some sort of incredible, completely mind blowing fashion.
It did not. In fact, I found the ending to be the weakest part. Everything wrapped up a little too easily and quickly.
My main issue with this series is the romance. It could have been a..more
#1) Flawed ★★★☆☆
This book was completely unremarkable. The writing was bland, so dry and simple that it put me to sleep. The characters were overly dramatic and stale as month old biscuits. Celestine is genuinely unlikable, especially after the drama she created about Carrick. The romance could not have been any less monotonous, cliched or horrifyingly cringe-worthy if it tried. I literally rolled my eyes more times than I care to admit. The secondary characters had no personality and were gener..more

Synopsis[edit]
Where Rainbows End is a story told through letters, emails and instant messaging about the ever-changing relationship between the two main characters Rosie Dunne and Alex Stewart. Rosie and Alex are close friends from childhood but one day they are suddenly separated when Alex and his family move from Dublin to Boston. The book guides us through their relationship as it continues to change due to distance, new relationships and circumstances which seem determined to keep them apart. One question remains throughout the book, were they always meant to be more than friends and will they risk everything including their friendship on love?
