Perfected | Kate Jarvik Birch

Perfection comes at a price. As soon as the government passed legislation allowing humans to be genetically engineered and sold as pets, the rich and powerful rushed to own beautiful girls like Ella. Trained from birth to be graceful, demure, and above all, perfect, these "family companions" enter their masters' homes prepared to live a life of idle luxury. Ella is happy with her new role as playmate for a congressman's bubbly young daughter, but she doesn't expect Penn, the congressman's handsome and rebellious son. He's the only person who sees beyond the perfect exterior to the girl within. Falling for him goes against every rule she knows...and the freedom she finds with him is intoxicating. But when Ella is kidnapped and thrust into the dark underworld lurking beneath her pampered life, she's faced with an unthinkable choice. Because the only thing more dangerous than staying with Penn's family is leaving...and if she's unsuccessful, she'll face a fate far worse than death. For fans of Keira Cass's Selection series and Lauren DeStefano's Chemical Garden series, Perfected by Kate Jarvik Birch is a chilling look at what it means to be human, and a stunning celebration of the power of love to set us free, wrapped in a glamorousand dangerousbow.

@Bibliotaph_and_tsundoku nailed it!! I literally gasped when I opened The Black Count, which I am desperate to read. Everything was spot on, from the chocolate to my BLANKET and my socks!! Love the book selections, love that you patronized The Strand on my behalf, that bookstore is fabulous. Thank you thank you thank you!! Not pictured: the Bibliophile pin already at home on my backpack 😊

Mehso-so

The first few chapters were what reeled me in but towards the middle the plot dragged and I guess the ending was okay. I felt disappointed while reading this. I was just expecting more.

Total breathe of fresh air in the YA dystopian genre. What could of easily been a cliche novel with cheesy romance and a unthought out plot was actually a creative and well thought out novel that has the reader ask how far will humanity go before it loses itself.

So I was nervous that this book would fall short and just be a cliche dystopian young adult novel. But Birch has done an amazing job so far of keeping to book fresh and strays from easy cliches. So far so good!!
