Perfect - Softcover

"Hopkins sticks to the signature style that has made her books bestsellers, blending verse poetry with controversial topics . . . to intrigue her fans and recruit new ones."--Publishers Weekly

"This page-turner pulls no emotional punches."--Kirkus Reviews

"This companion to Impulse can stand alone, but packs considerably more punch when read contiguously as intended. . . . Hopkins's legions of fans will no doubt devour Perfect and welcome the return of the characters they learned to love in Impulse."
--School Library Journal

"Hopkins addresses teens' struggle with unrealistic expectations in gut-wrenching free verse."--Booklist

"At its nucleus, four teenagers are grappling with insecurities that become exacerbated when loved ones turn up the heat. . . . The unrestricted access Hopkins employs is formidable: parents, siblings, love interests, and outliers all thrust frank judgment on the characters. It is how Cara, Sean, Kendra, and Andre react that encourages readers' emotional attachments. Her writing conveys teenage quandaries with all of the intended consequences, as the verse style only serves to shock as the events unfold."--VOYA

Struggling to measure up to the impossible standards of their respective pursuits, four high school seniors strive to achieve happiness through love, physical beauty, athletic competition and detachment from their families. By the best-selling author of Tricks.
