Beginning:
I am a girl of definitions, of logic, of black and white.Friday 56 (from location 560 on my Kindle):
Remember this.
I can barely hear him over the coughing, over my pounding heart. Does nobody else hear the old man? Does nobody see him? I look around, flustered. All eyes are staring out the window or on him in disgust, as if he's about the infect all of us with his flaws.This week I am spotlighting Flawed by Cecelia Ahern. I got this eARC from Macmillan via NetGalley. Here is the description:
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.
But then Celestine encounters a situation in which she makes an instinctive decision. She breaks a rule and now faces life-changing repercussions. She could be imprisoned. She could be branded. She could be found FLAWED.
In her breathtaking young adult debut, bestselling author Cecelia Ahern depicts a society in which perfection is paramount and flaws are punished. And where one young woman decides to take a stand that could cost her everything.
I have been really intrigued by this. I love her other books but I am kind of nervous about a YA book from her!
