A review by wanderlustlover
Perfect Ruin by Lauren DeStefano

5.0

Mmmmm. My favorite out of the gate for January was my first book read even, which is not surprising entirely given it's sort of habit but I was blown away by this book. Blown away, and blown away, and blown away. It's a YA book, but the central topic of the book is not the YA Romance. There is a boy and a girl (and even another boy and another girl, and several couples in different directions) but none of these is the story of the book.

The book is about Morgan and Interment, and Morgan & Morgan's Family & Interment. It doesn't pull its punches. Its true to the things it starts and ends with, and I actually only have one argument with a happening in the book I found a little too convenient, but I'd really only dock that one half a star at the most because it's not as thought the cast isn't already large enough at that point as it is.

I almost don't even want to talk about it. Because it's that good and I don't want to spoil anything for people, the way it slowly opens, while you're chasing the world into the fog and oh, oh, oh, over the edge. I am not surprised in the slightest given this it the lovely lady who gave me The Chemical Garden trilogy, but I am on pins and needles already to see where this book will go.
