author ellen hopkins notes perfect poems statistics

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.
