Flawed by Cecelia Ahern

Cecelia Ahern’s young adult debut, Flawed takes readers to a dystopian future where society looks at perfection as essential  and punishes any flaws. If found flawed, one’s flaws are publicly named and their skin branded with an F in one of five places. For bad decisions, it’s their temple. For Lying, it’s their tongue. For stealing, it’s their right palm. For disloyalty, it’s their chest. For stepping out of line, it’s the sole of their right foot. If found Flawed you are despised and isolated by society, left to live under different rules and treated as criminals. But what if your flaw is ethically and morally right?

“I am a girl of definitions, of logic, of black and white. Remember this.”

Ahern makes you think about our society’s ethics and values today. And states in the books Acknowledgments, “If there is one message that I hope this book portrays, it’s this: None of us are perfect. Let us not pretend that we are no the same. Let us all know that to be human is to flawed, and let us learn from every mistake made so we don’t make them again.”

From the very first line to the very last word, Flawed grabs you and holds you needing more right until the very end, where you are sure to be bugging for the story to continue. But no worry – there is a sequel on the way! If you are one of the many YA dystopian fans who have been in a slump, due to the now over-saturated market of cliche dystopia, Flawed is sure to regain your hope in the genre and give you that breathe of fresh air!
