This book will make you think about what it really means to be human and what perfection is. I did not want to put this book down as I was reading. There were a few scenes where the descriptions were very intense and I had to stop for a bit, but overall this was a great book. I would recommend it to anyone who is trying to figure out what it means to be a person of this earth. I look forward to the next book.

I have started this review about three times and I just can't decide what I really feel about the story. On one hand I sat up until 3.30am to finish because there was something that I can't quite put my finger on that just kept me reading. However, on the other hand, I found the main character just so annoying. I found idea of the story intriguing and it had great potential yet I feel it just wasn't executed all that well.

4/5
Tengo una especial debilidad por las distopías y Imperfectos no ha sido la excepción.
Celestine evoluciona sorprendentemente y me ha encantado. Es fuerte, valiente y capaz de todo. He amado a Carrick y espero mucho más protagonismo para él en la segunda parte. Juniper también me ha gustado mucho, siempre detrás de su hermana sin que ella lo supiera.
Una sociedad perfectamente construida a punto de desmoronarse que me ha maravillado.

Próximamente reseña en el blog.

4 stelle!

Questo è uno di quei libri che sono sul comodino e se li vedi non ti viene voglia di leggerli, ma che appena prendi in mano fai fatica a staccarti.
La scrittura della Ahern mi era piaciuta in passato e mi è piaciuta in questo libro.
I personaggi sono imperfetti, ed è quasi divertente vedere come in un libro in cui tutti vogliono essere perfetti, i protagonisti non lo siano minimamente.
Celestine è un personaggio che ti può piacere o fare alzare gli occhi al cielo. È una ragazza che voleva essere perfetta, che pensava di esserlo, ma che attraverso il libro ci viene mostrato come non lo sia veramente, anzi quanto sia imperfetta.
Degli altri personaggi vorrei dire che non mi fido di nessuno e che se fossi in questo posto dormirei con un occhio aperto.
Il mio personaggio preferito del libro è Carrick! L'ho adorato alla follia e ha solo detto undici parole! ESATTO UNDICI! Ma tra noi è scattata la scintilla!
Carrick è apparso solo in poche scene del libro e nel restate tempo i miei pensieri erano "Dov'è Carrick?... Ma non possiamo andare a cercare Carrick?" (Si, sono senza speranza!).
Lui e Celestine sono già OTP!
Non vedo l'ora di leggere il prossimo libro!

I am a girl of definitions, of logic, of black and white. Remember this.

I'm not sure about the character, but the author is definitely a person of definitions. She adhered to the YA dystopian trope almost to a fault.

Is it impossible to write a dystopian novel that doesn't follow the same tired format?
Step 1. Girl is unwilling to step outside the rules
Step 2. Girl does something out of character (usually less that 30 pages step 1 is made clear)
Step 3. Girl becomes unlikely rallying point for an entire rebellion...

Add in a dash of I-am-madly-in-love-with Character we meet in the beginning, but who is this stranger? I am instantly drawn to him without even talking to him for reasons, I guess.

Bake for 350 pages and you've got yourself a lack luster novel...

With that said, I have to say I didn't hate the book. It was predictable and standard, but I enjoyed the writing. It was an interesting take on the consequences in a dystopian future.

Overall, this book was solidly average. I will give the next book in the series a shot and hope for the best.

Really liked this book but there was a bit of cussing.
