This was a YA with an interesting premise. In a world where thanks to social media, perfection is an ever popular goal, it’s feasible that anything less is indeed flawed. The book takes this notion one-step into the future and a stride further with leaders outcasting anyone who is flawed. The flawed are tried, convicted, branded and ostracised.
When perfect seventeen year old, Celestine makes a judgement call, it costs her everything and as she navigates through her new life, she uncovers lies and secrets about their ‘perfect’ society.
I really enjoyed this story and found whilst it was light on action, it echoed some elements of The Handmaid’s Tale or Vox. It was thoroughly engaging and I’ll definitely buy the sequel.
