She lives in a society where beauty is held above all else. Family. Love. Even life. The society would risk anything to be beautiful. They've genetically mutated human genes to be the optimum image of beauty, they've infected humans with a lie. Beauty. Everyone is completely different, yet, somehow, each and every one of them is exactly the same. So what happens when there's a flaw in the system? A fault in their utopia? And her name is Valentine. She isn't beautiful. She isn't their 'perfect'. And she's crumbling their system to pieces. Valentine must fight for herself and others like her. Flaws, they're called. She must risk everything. Not for beauty. Not for perfection. But for her own life and for her own beautiful flaws. ----- ©Copyright 2015
