A review by thelilbookwitch
My Flawless Life by Yvonne Woon
4.0
The pressures of ultra competitive, over achieving, affluent teens are deftly woven into a spiraling plot that progresses in a non-linear fashion as we meet Hana and a cast of characters desperate to maintain their image and live up to the crushing expectations set before them from family and peers.
Hana had it all, and in her attempt to live in some satellite proximity to her old life, has taken on the task of fixing for her peers to save their reputations and keep them from earning the wrong kind of attention.
There is a slow-burn to the plot development, and without spoiling anything, the book does an excellent job of making a compelling mystery even before big twists happen. At times the sheer competence and autonomy of the characters feels a little had to believe, but then again -- what do I know about being an elite?
Well worth the read, and highly appealing to anyone looking for a story with emotionally compelling stakes, character development, and twists. While some was a little predictable, I enjoyed reading it nonetheless.
