I received a free digital copy from the author/publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Perfect is the second and last book in the Flawed duology and follows 18-year-old Celestine North who lives in a country where The Guild can ruin your life. If people make immoral decisions or decisions frowned upon by society, they can be branded with an F mark. Celestine was branded in six places, one illegally, when she helped an old man who was Flawed and refused to repent for her actions. Now Celestine is on the run from The Guild and its leader Bosco Crevan and trying to figure out she can bring the system down.

I don't think I enjoyed this book quite as much as Flawed but overall, I do think it finished up the story quite nicely. One of the things I like about The Guild is that it's still very weak and Crevan and the other judges reply on public support and government support. It's not an all-over power and it can still topple easily - obviously one of Crevan's main fears. Celestine is on the run and doesn't know who to trust but she does have ways that she can bring Crevan and The Guild down and she knows this. I liked that we knew how she could do, we just needed to wait for her to figure out how to bring it all together.

While in the first book, I enjoyed the chemistry between Celestine and Carrick while they were in the cells, Celestine's obsession with him was a bit annoying for me. I understood the connection but I do feel like Carrick became something big and great in her mind, and we never really got the real him. As soon as she finally sees him again, she sleeps with him and it was her first time. I felt like this was one, uncharacteristic of Celestine who always seemed like she would have planned this kind of thing out and wouldn't do it rashly, two, there was no mention of protection and I couldn't figure out why Carrick would have condoms in his room in the factory when he'd only been there a very short time (if we can just presume he used a condom that is), three they had only been together a day and a half, had very little actual conversation between them, and it just made me feel a bit whatever about the whole thing. I didn't care about their romance in this book at all. And as for Art and the attempt at a love triangle? He was just a massive wet mop.

I did eventually end up liking where this went, I definitely didn't enjoy it as much as Flawed though. Still a good YA duology - but i prefer Cecelia Ahern's adult books.
