My Thoughts: 

[I thought I would do a review that is a little different to any reviews I have ever written before, in honor of Ellen Hopkins]

Perfect breaks my heart,

watches me fall,

and hears me cry.

Perfect is beautiful,

dare I say 'perfect'.

Written in words so lovely,

so terrifying,

yet so true.

Perfect,

to be perfect means the world,

to most,

to me-- perfection is this book.

Oh, Ellen Hopkins;

how you broke my heart,

yet never failed to make me smile.

Perfect,

perfect,

perfect...

We can never be perfect,

but we strive,

fight,

and break.

Until there is nothing left but mere words-

words so lovely as these,

Thank you Ellen Hopkins!
