Perfect by Natasha Friend really shows a modern day story of a teenager girl. I think many people could relate to Isabelle Lee in different ways. Last year in 8th grade we had a woman come speak to the girls in our grade. She shared a very surprising story of how she was bulimic and anorexic. Her story was so shocking to me and really got me interested in the topic because I didn't know anything about it. I came across this book randomly and decided to read it for my choice book. I really enjoyed it!
I think that Perfect really shows the pressure people have when they do not feel perfect. As I read this book I could not figure out was it was titled Perfect. But then it hit me. Lots of teenage girls feel like they have to be perfect in other peoples eyes. They will do anything to feel perfect. As I read, Isabelle Lee's life was amazing but then her father died and then she made her self sick all the time. She did not feel perfect anymore. She was making herself sick to make sure her body looked good so she could feel perfect. But really when she might look perfect to some people she really was suffering. I think that lots of people could relate to Isabelle Lee in ways other than not feelings perfect. She had to deal with choosing the right group of friends and suffering from the lose of her father.
