Summary:
Dell is used to disappointment. Ever since her dad left, it’s been one let down after another. But no one—not even her best friend—gets all the pain she’s going through. So Dell hides behind self-deprecating jokes and forced smiles.
Then the one person she trusts betrays her. Dell is beyond devastated. Without anyone to turn to for comfort, her depression and self-loathing spin out of control. But just how far will she go to make all of the heartbreak and name-calling stop?
Review:
I have never related more to a book than I did to this one. I remember reading the first fourteen pages and immediately I felt overwhelmed with emotion. The author not only balances good writing with room for analysis, she wrote a realistic book about bullying and how it can lead someone down a very dark, and
The title for this book is perfection. No matter how many times you say it, the word itself just seems void and distant. But to Dell those five letters encompassed her entire life. As you read this story you can't help but feel frustrated because you want to help Dell, you want her to find her happiness, and you wait but it never comes. This is another aspect of Walton's writing that I couldn't help but fall in love with. She sets a clear boundary between fantasy and reality.
This book will take you on an emotional roller coaster and in the end, the only emotion you will feel is empty. Proceed with caution and watch your step you are in for one hell of a ride. Definitely a recommendation to all.
Dying to get read this. I remember hearing about the plot and noting remember the title and going crazy trying to figure out which book it was. I'm glad it's worth it :)
