The Summery:
Perfect, to think of the name and what type of book it is you quickly come to the conclusion that it’s a boring book and it’s going to teach us about eating disorders amount teenage girls and how the media is destroying their self-esteem, little by little. But unfortunately you are wrong. Prefect is the best children literature book I’ve ever read; it tough me eating disoreders in a different way without reading the whole ‘scientific theory’ process.

The main character of the story is 13 years old, a teenage girl just like us who dreams of being the queen & most popular girl of the whole school. And to make that dream come true you need to be perfect - pretty face, stereo body type, and always says the right things. Ashley, a perfect example of those characteristic is the most beautiful & popular girl of the whole school. Just imagine how many boys have crushes on her. Despite her beauty she has some problems too, just like Isabelle.

When Isabelle’s sister wasn’t being loyal enough and told on her, Isabelle got in to the ‘’ what was commonly called ‘GROUP’. Same with Ashley, they both have the ‘throwing-up’ problem which was pretty disgusting and hard to do process from my personal opinions. Eventually they became very good friends and Isabelle was introduced to the popular group. Even though it was like a dream come true but she still couldn’t forget about her best buds. And she discovered that Ashley wasn’t enjoying her self either.

When Trish the leader of GROUP heard what Isabelle’s problem was she gave Isabelle support and courage that change Isabelle’s life, and changed the way she thinks about the word ‘perfect’. I’m not going to tell you what Isabelle’s problem was, because that will ruin the whole book for you, but you’ll going to know it when you read the back of it. Overall – a very interesting book, a fun & must read to learn something and to change the way how some of us who disparately go for the throne.
