Review: After the perfect girl who has never been in trouble - This is the book that was featured in my most recent Owl Crate I obtained. For those who aren't aware as to what the Owl Crate is, it's similar to that of Loot Crate but instead features a new book with several additional nerdy items related to that month's theme. The theme this time was Dystopia. follow this link to find out more and purchase one for yourself if you so wish--- [...] So as mentioned earlier this book is a dystopia novel. The concept revolves around a government agency called the Guild who basically takes people who make mistakes of judgement, seen as stealing from society, disloyalty towards the Guild, and lying are judged and labelled by branding as being Flawed and are no longer allowed to participate or obtain any of the luxuries of life. However, the issue with this whole system is that it follows the views of certain people as being flawed or not causing a huge room for corruption. After the perfect girl who has never been in trouble, made straight A's and was dating the head judge of the Guild's son, is eventually labelled as being flawed for helping a flawed man who was dying while no one was willing to help begins to lead to an increase in doubt on not only the Guild but the humanity of society as a whole. After her unfair trail and excessive unheard of punishment Celestine North must learn how to adapt in this new life as a flawed human being. The whole story line is well thought out and the novel itself is a quick read. Only spent 3 days reading it myself actually. The situations she goes through makes you angry, sad, thoughtful, and any other extreme emotion you may think of. As she gets stronger and braver despite the constant knockdowns from society, she learns she has the upper hand and if she plays her cards right she may just be able to take down the Guild and most importantly the injustice of the head judge. Sadly.....there's going to be a part 2. Since this was just recently published there's no telling how long it will take for the next novel in this series to come out. (NOOOOOOO!!!!!) Yet I will be impatiently waiting for it's announcement and release. (Yeah it is that good. I want to know what happens damn it!) All in all I'll end with my favorite quote from the author: "If there's one message that I hope this book portrays, it's this: None of us are perfect. Let us not pretend that we are. Let us not be afraid that we're not. Let us not label others and pretend we are not the same. Let us all know that to be human is to be flawed, and let us learn from every mistake made so we don't make them again." I hope everyone takes that quote to heart especially with everything that has been occurring throughout in the news. Just because you may not understand it, doesn't mean you should treat another human being any differently with the same compassion and respect you would want for yourself.

Review: Flawed or compassionate? - Totally not what I expected. Set in a dystopian society were following the rules and social norms strictly enforced and perfection is the goal, Celestine North is the model citizen: beautiful, straight-A student who is logical and is the girlfriend of the son of the most powerful judge in the country. Normally the rule-follower, she is shaken and confused by the recent rulings of the court. The first is her neighbor who took her dying mother outside the country to be euthanized, following her dying mother's wish to end her pain and suffering. Her neighbor is branded and declared "Flawed" since she stole a life even though she did not break any laws inside the country. The second is a famous sports player who cheated on his wife but is found not guilty or not "Flawed" even though there is plenty of evidence that he did commit the crime. The fact that the judge in the case owns a significant part of the sports league that this famous player is a part of and being declared "Flawed" would prevent him from traveling internationally with the team and severely restrict his life has the public and Celestine questioning the fairnesss of this "Flawless" court. When Celestine speaks up and tries to save a Flawed man life on a bus, she is arrested for aiding a Flawed and is put on public trial. Celestine's life will be forever changed no matter what the outcome but can she live with herself if she lies and tries to save herself from the fate of being "Flawed"? I could have read this book in 1 day if I could have kept my eyes open last night to finish it. It was deeply moving to me and showed me what bullying is like when taken to the extreme in a society, to the point where some people in society are seen a less-than-human and have their rights taken away and their lives severely restricted over lapse of judgment or thought different from the accepted norm. I felt the anger and the frustration of the Flawed and those who questioned the morality of the society but were afraid to speak up in fear of being declared "Flawed." A great dystopian novel that O would highly recommend to all especially young adults and dystopian readers. I gave this a 4 out of 5 on Goodreads.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by シ***ス on May 27, 2018*

読みだしたら、止まりませんでした。 読みやすくもあり、ストーリーがスリリングでもあり、 そして、大きなメッセージが込められた作品でもあります。 「間違いをおかしてこそ、失敗してこそ、人は学び成長する！」というメッセージ。 そして、勇気とは何か、強さとは何かも考えさせられます。 17歳の少女の葛藤と成長が、痛々しいほどリアルに描かれています。 けっして、主人公を全面的に美化して描いていないところが、この本のもうひとつの魅力でもあり、 読者は共感しながら、この少女と同じ目線で試練に立ち向かっていく感覚を持てます。 星を５つでなく４つにしたのは、後半で少々もたついた所があったからです。それと、重要な登場人物が後から後から出てくるのはちょっとズルいんじゃないの？と思ってしまいました。
