Perfect by ellen hopkins5/9/2023 ![]() ![]() I think that the book accurately imitates how people deal with these situations, and teens will be able to relate to it. It deals with issues like anorexia, steroid abuse, sexual identity, and parent’s impossible standards. This novel reflects reality in a very convincing way. ![]() I read “Impulse” and since the plotlines occur at the same time, I already knew how the story ended for one of the characters. This book is a sequel to the book “Impulse,” but it is not necessary to read it first because the story lines are completely different. I have read other novels of Hopkins so I knew that the novel reads normally, it is just written like it looks like poetry. The unique writing style of Hopkins can be intimidating at first, as it is written in free verse format. This book is great for teens to relate to the struggle of trying to hold on to the modern standard of “perfect.” This audience for this novel is young adults, as it follows the characters around a high school and shows their difficulties as the year goes on. Hopkins is able to put herself in the shoes of the difficult lives of these four teenagers excellently and convincingly. Ellen Hopkins’s portrayal of the daily lives of four teenagers in the novel “Perfect” is intriguing and thought provoking throughout the entire plotline. ![]()
