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.

A Risky Kind of Business by JayKaysjustkidding

As an Ap-class, principal lapdog-ing, valedictorian, goodie goodie honors student, you couldn't fathom Mickey Anderson doing something that was even considered the slightest bit troublesome or improper. In other words, she was perfect. “Imperfections were what fractured a perfectly unflawed social status.” She could still hear her mother’s voice ringing in her head as she sat there with her nose turned up and a fake smile plastered on her face because her latest botox treatment wouldn’t let her own any other facial expression. With a family who was obsessed with politics and climbing the ‘social ladder to success,’ Mickey had been expected to be the ‘perfectly well-mannered, election winning daughter’ ever since she could say, “Vote for Anderson.” So after having eighteen years of teenage, rebellious emotions bottled up, Mickey felt like she deserved a break from being ‘Miss Perfect’ twentyfour-seven. And how else better to do that than going on an all-country road trip with her best friend during after Graduation? What would possibly be better than breaking the law and just not giving a fuck?

Façade 🎈 by 1234reggaetonlento

"Come with me." Alex held out his hand to me. "Where?" I whispered to him, afraid that mom and dad would wake up to see a random teenage boy on my window. "Somewhere you'll never forget in your entire life." Alex flashed a smirk and jumped out of my window. ***** Being in a perfect family might have its own perks but there are also some things which you need to have. 1. Brains 2. Good attitude 3. Looks 4. Wealth But what happens if you break rule no. 1 like Hayley did? Then you gotta work harder to make sure that you abide by the rule. And it will be harder if a distraction like Alex Gold comes to her life and turn it upside down. Maybe with the help of Alex, Hayley might see that her parents are wrong, perfection doesn't really matter to be happy. As stated, the book is under editing so read at your own risk. And the grammar nazis, don't get too freaked out when you see horrible-ish grammar in the whole book.

Souled [Editing] by Sweetpea13

Numbers. They run the world. Whether it's time or how much money you make, numbers dominate everything. Including romance. Who knew that something so unpredictable and spontaneous as love could be tracked down to the second. Everyone receives a Countdown. Everyone gets that perfect love, that perfect person just for them. But not everyone's perfect love story works out perfectly. Meredith always stared at the little clock on her wrist, counting down the days, hours, minutes, seconds until she met the One. Her Soul Mate. But what if her Soul Mate was the one person who she could never be with? Nate never worried about his Soul Mate. Or really even wanted one. He ignored the faint ticking the Countdown clock made. He watched people fall in love as he made his way through life. But he didn't know what surprise he was in for when the clock hit zero. Neither expected the other. Everything was picture perfect at first... until reality set in. They were complete opposites, and not in the cliche way. When another person steps into their lives, seemingly perfect for Nate, and throws a monkey-wrench into their efforts, will they keep trying? Or will they forget the whole thing and go their separate ways?
