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.

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.

Fairy Tales Don't Exist by StarSophie

Lexi was once young, innocent, and perfect. She had the picture-perfect life and family to fit in with it all. She believed all those fairy tales her mom told her, about finding her prince charming - just like her mother did when she found her father. Just before her 16th birthday, tragedy strikes and the flawless life she once knew is shattered. Everyone changes and she decides that the only way to survive is to keep all those emotions and hurt she feels locked tight inside her and not let anyone in. She loses all her friends and those very friends that were by her side most of her life are now the ones bullying her and making her life hell. She moves to a small town, little does she know that the town is run by wolves. She meets a brown wolf at the waterfall the first night in town and soon a friendship forms. At a bar one night she runs into a gorgeous guy name Jax, soon to be Alpha of the towns pack. Jax immediately feels something for her and she feels the same way. They become close… What will happen when the brown wolf from the waterfall comes into the picture …in his human form? Will she recognise him? What will happen to Lexi and Jax? Will Lexi’s trust in her friends still be there after all the secrets come out? Will she accept the fact that her best friends are werewolves and there is this secret world out there that she never knew existed? Will they find out that Lexi has also been hiding something from them, something she’s ashamed to admit, will they think less of her or help her? While she hides her feelings for one of the wolves, she falls madly in love with the other, thinking that her mother was right after all - she’s found her prince charming. As soon as things seem to be perfect , tragedy will strike once again, how will she fix her broken heart this time? ___________________________________

The Best Kind of Betrayal by scout245

It's the first day of June's senior year and everything is already going wrong. Her first boyfriend and supposedly love of her life dumps her for someone else, her heart is broken and feels like it won't ever heal again and her best friend makes her join the most unnecessary club on earth to help her find new friends she most definitely does not need. Still. New chances are for new beginnings, right? Instead of falling into a deep dark pit of self pity (however tempting that may sound), all of this betrayal ends up leading her to the best friends she's ever had and the most exciting school year of her life. Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.

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?

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?

Come Over (StudxStud) by Gay_Swiss

"No one knows what was done to me this summer. And no one will ever find out. They wouldn't understand... My own parents don't even understand... No one knows and no one saw.... or so I thought." Iyana Bright is a 17 year old, high school girl who goes through a horrifically violent experience during her summer break, but a spiked drink leaves her memory in a haze. Through the new school year as a senior, she deals with bouts of PTSD, anxiety, and depression as the memories of her ordeal haunt her every waking moment. Until the new girl, Jules; who also happens to be her next door neighbor, enters her life. Jules, also a 17 year old senior, has demons of her own to fight. With no mother in the picture, a suspiciously angsty college brother, and an abusive father who can't keep his anger in check, she carries a little secret of her own that could either make or break Iyana's traumatic grief. What will these two find waiting at the end of their journey; one happy ending... or an ending for one?
