I... just... I'm underwhelmed.It was just so unoriginal to me. I picked this book up randomly in the "new books" section at the public library because 1) I kind of liked the minimalist cover, and 2) It sounded a little bit like UGLIES by Scott Westerfeld (one of my favorite books when I was much, much younger). I felt like it would be a bit nostalgic. And it had been a while since I'd read a dystopian novel. I was definitely in the mood for one. But... clearly not this one.FLAWED seemed quiteThis reading was a true roller coaster of emotions, but the one that remained the most was the revolt, mainly because of prejudice, discrimination and lack of respect for the human condition. It would be incredibly frightening if this dystopia were to happen in today's society. It's a reading that we consume very fast, I couldn't stop reading, I wanted to know more and more, I confess I was enjoying it so much that... I wanted more. And the book ends in an exciting part, I wanted to read the
I am girl of definitions, of logic, of black and white.Remember this. And she's just as boring and spiritless as that quote indicates. This book is dull, bland, and yet another prime example of failed YA dystopia. It was inoffensive, if you can call, a nonsensical dystopian future and a standard love triangle inoffensive, among its other faults.I can't stop using the word bland. It was so bland. It is so flavorless. Have you ever had plain instant oatmeal? It's kind of like that. Only instead
This is one of those YA utopian societies in the near future that is actually really messed up and run by tyrannical a-holes. I happen to LOVE these types of stories and this one did not disappoint. It grabs you from the beginning and there are pretty much things going on nonstop.The premise is that a society has adopted rules against using individual judgment, too much risk-taking, lying, morals, and when you "break" these rules, you don't go to jail or be executed. You are branded, literally,
*ARC received from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review*I feel like I could've liked this book way more than I did, if only for a few changes. While it started off slow, things picked up some when Celestine is accused of being flawed, in other words, imperfect. But then things died down again, when they had so much potential to be great from there. I just couldn't connect with Celestine's character. She was very naïve, even after people showed her their true colors. She put herself in

This is an interesting dystopian setting where any flaw in behavior gets you permanently branded and cast out in society, a la the A in The Scarlet Letter. Celestine starts out dating the son of one of the behavioral judges, but after she helps an elderly man on a bus who happens to be flawed she is cast out as well. Very engaging writing and excellent pacing. Author Ceceila Ahern does a brilliant job of getting down to the meat of feelings and trauma and examining how Celestine has had her
