A Place Called Perfect: 1

Product Information

I also love the difference in people and find it fascinating how we label a person as odd if they are not following the "rules" of life, perhaps they are just being themselves? Violet is a fantastic heroine in the tale, she feels fear, sorrow and frustration yet works to conquer them and with help from new found friendships becomes a strong, resilient and a great leader. The writing keeps you interested and you just constantly want to know what will happen to our characters next. Love this combination of mystery and horror and it is the perfect book to read if you like any of the things listed above. The tea is delicious, and the rose-tinted glasses everyone has to wear seems to protect them from blindness- what even, right?

Violet quickly discovers there's something weird going on, and when she meets Boy she realizes that the mysterious Watchers are guarding a perfectly creepy secret!

In fact, so cunning and dangerous are they that it's up to Violet and Boy to put their heads together and decide how to save the oblivious people of Perfect from the cunning Archer brothers. The two set off on an adventure to locate Violet’s dad and find out just what it was that Perfect was hiding. Violet explains to Boy about the disappearance of her father and believes that the Archer brothers are keeping him somewhere. Debut author and graphic designer Helena Duggan subtlety downplays the likely existence of ghosts by linking back to the fact that they all derive from our own imaginations. Violet quickly discovers there’s something weird going on in the town – she keeps hearing voices and her mam is acting strange and her dad has disappeared.

Violet hates all this (except for the tea, which, admittedly, is absolutely delicious), and once her parents start turning into people she barely recognized, with her mom taking up baking and what not, and her father suddenly disappears on a mysterious business trip, Violet realizes that something is definitely not right about Perfect. Apart from the slight lack of growth in Boy's character, the one other thing that bothered me about the book was the pacing.After her dad’s disappearance, Violet will not sit and do nothing when she knows something is wrong with this town and it’s creators. Gdyby nie ciekawy pomysł i prosty styl adekwatny do opowiadanej historii byłaby kaplica na całej linii. They learn to get along together, although there are a few moments where they are not so nice to one another. Edward and George Archer have built this perfect town, but not all the citizens conform and do not become perfect citizens.
