Celestine North lives a perfect life. She’s a model daughter and sister, she’s well-liked by her classmates and teachers, and she’s dating the impossibly charming Art Crevan. The main character, Celestine North, sees herself as perfect. She comes from a law-abiding family: her mother is a "model in high demand", her father is the head of a television station, News 24. Ruled over by the 'Guild', in this society those who lie, cheat or steal must wear an armband emblazoned with a red letter F, and their skin or tongue (in the case of lying) must be branded with the same letter. So far, so The Scarlett Letter meets Louise O'Neill's Only Ever Yours. At the opening of the book, Bosco Craven, head of the Guild and father of Celestine's boyfriend, Art, is celebrating Earth Day with Celestine and her family. Another family, the Tinders, are late for dinner and as the group sits down without them, sirens rent the air.

Essa meta inatingível que nos move — que nos faz avançar sem nunca lá chegar, pois Sua Majestade a Rainha Consciência assim o dita! Uma leitura ideal para um dia de lazer, pois é uma tortura interrompê-la por um instante que seja!...Sweeney, Ken (26 March 2012). "Cecelia expecting summer baby". Irish Independent.

There are also some pretty intense gory scenes that I wasn't happy reading into. I mean it was described in detail and I almost threw up a little, gah. It also became a bit predictable and then there was a love triangle and what I'm guessing was instant love. She barely knew anything about this guy and immediately became obsessed. I had no idea why either. There was a brutal bullying scene that had me screeching in my head. It was a little too intense for me. In the midst of it all, she hears rumblings of a possible underground movement aiming to overthrow the ruling party. This love story goes deep as everyone except the couple knows that they are destined to be together and they realize the fact after a long journey looking for someone else. The book is a marvel to read and will invigorate your romantic persona for sure.Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - Flawed' von Cecelia Ahern hat mich, überraschenderweise, wirklich umgehauen.

I liked Celestine, although she really needed to think more before acting. Even though the things she did were morally right, she got herself into a whole lot of trouble, and still kept getting into more and more trouble as the book went along. Celestine is a refreshing protagonist. For one, she happens to be mixed-race, which shouldn't be a big deal but which, in a world where young people of colour are shamefully under-represented in fiction, is important. And unlike some dystopian heroines, she is not a natural rebel or warrior. Like Jessika Keller, the teenage protagonist of Julie Mayhew's superb dystopian novel The Big Lie, Celestine is a "good girl". Academic, beautiful and just popular enough, she's always wanted to follow the rules, to avoid standing out.See how easy it may be to cross from Perfection to Flawedness.
