Flawed and Perfect are the two books in a YA dystopian duology by Cecelia Ahern. Celestine North has a wonderful life. Her parents have the best jobs, she's extremely well-liked, and she's dating the popular Art Crevan. In a society where anyone who makes a mistake is considered Flawed, Celestine seems like perfection. But when she makes an instinctive decision that breaks the rules, Celestine is faced with life-changing consequences.
Sex: Celestine is intimate in the second novel. It's not graphic, but readers will know it happened. Also, the Flawed are forced into immodest attire as part of a punishment in one later scene.
Language: Mild.
Drug/Alcohol Use: Mild.
Violence/Gore/Frightening Scenes/Death: These are very suspenseful books. People who are Flawed are branded with an 'F' on their body. The location of the brand depends on the flaw. Several characters must go into hiding and several people are abused and harmed.
Final Note: I loved this series! It's been awhile since I've read a "good" dystopian novel. There's a small bit of mature content, but it's mostly mentioned in passing, not graphically. The story itself is extremely captivating and Cecelia Ahern keeps readers engaged. When I finished the first book, I could barely stand to wait for the second one. I gave both books five stars on Goodreads!
