Story
Five teenagers from different parts of the country. Three girls. Two guys. Four straight. One gay. Some rich. Some poor. Some from great families. Some with no one at all. All living their lives as best they can, but all searching . . . for freedom, safety, community, family, love. What they don't expect, though, is all that can happen when those powerful little words "I love you" are said for all the wrong reasons.

Matthew Turner doesn't have faith in anything. Not in family - his is a shambles after his younger brother was bullied into suicide. Not in so-called friends who turn their backs when things get tough. Not in some all-powerful creator who lets too much bad stuff happen. And certainly not in some "It Gets Better" psychobabble. No matter what his girlfriend Hayden says about faith and forgiveness, there's no way Matt's letting go of blame.

People kill people. Guns just make it easier. A gun is sold in the classifieds after killing a spouse, bought by a teenager for needed protection. But which was it? Each has the incentive to pick up a gun, to fire it. Was it Rand or Cami, married teenagers with a young son? Was it Silas or Ashlyn, members of a white supremacist youth organization? Daniel, who fears retaliation because of his race, who possessively clings to Grace, the love of his life? Or Noelle, who lost everything after a devastating accident, and has sunk quietly into depression?

Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At 17 she's already lost more than most people do in a lifetime. But she's learned how to forget. The broken glass washes away the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. You don't have to think about your father and the river. Your best friend, who is gone forever. Or your mother, who has nothing left to give you. Every new scar hardens Charlie's heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much. It hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge.

Publisher's Summary
New York Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins makes her Simon & Schuster Audio debut with the young adult novel, Perfect.
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 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. Sean will sacrifice more than he can ever win back in order to score his perfect home run - on the field and off. And Andre realizes that to follow his heart and achieve his perfect performance, he’ll be living a life his ancestors would never understand.
A riveting and startling companion to the best-selling Impulse, Ellen Hopkins’s Perfect exposes the harsh truths about what it takes to grow up - and grow into our own selves. Because everyone wants to be perfect, but when perfection loses its meaning, how far will you go?

HONEST EVEN WHEN IT HURTS
Once again Ellen Hopkins has written an amazing book! This book, Perfect - is about how we struggle with many different things in our lives. Generally starting at a young age. I'm not skinny enough, says the anorexic or bulimic. My nose is too big, my breast are too small, Says the girl who is getting plastic surgery at age 16. I'm not smart enough, I'm not good enough to get football scholarship. I'm not strong enough to let people know the real me, I'm a lesbian. I'm not brave enough to let anyone know that I'm a dancer, who is already being noticed by amazing artists that will take me to the next level.
I'M NOT, That's exactly how thousands of our children, teens & even adults feel. And with Social Media it makes it so much easier for bullies to.. Well bully.
We NEED to as parents, grandparents, Aunt's&Uncle's, brothers and sisters, friends and just people who see someone struggling or hurting themselves or others. We are the Frontline of protecting our loved ones. It always starts at home.
There absolutely has got to be more conversations about these issues. We NEED to tell those people we love & don't want to lose... Forever. Teen suicide is more common then many many of us even could imagine.
We need to teach our children/friends/loved ones&even strangers that they CAN DO/BE WHATEVER THEY WANT. THEY CAN TAKE WHATEVER THEY ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT & BECOME..... IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP, GUIDE... THE I'M NOTS THAT THE CAN, THEY ARE!
This book was absolutely an amazing book. A definite MUST read. Beautifully written.

Emotional
this is the first book in a long time to actually make me cry. The very end scene where it tied in Vanessa and Tony, and to hear their final words about Connor, really hit me hard. They were built very well as characters in the book prior to this, "Impulse", and then to tie them into this, with all the other very well built characters, it's emotional. Ellen Hopkins is an amazing auther and I recommend all the other books she has written, as she knows how to A.) Make characters real and B.) how to really give a deep insight to the human mind. I know personally how depression is, and my mind felt very similar to how Vanessa explained in Impulse. All in all, a great author if you can handle a graphic nature and touchy subjects.
