Companion Novel to Impulse

Publication: September 13th, 2011

Summary: Everyone has something, someone, somewhere else that they’d rather be. For four high-school seniors, their goals of perfection are just as different as the paths they take to get there. Cara’s parents’ unrealistic expectations have already sent her twin brother Conner spiraling toward suicide. For her, perfect means rejecting their ideals to take a chance on a new kind of love. Kendra covets the perfect face and body—no matter what surgeries and drugs she needs to get there. To score his perfect home run—on the field and off—Sean will sacrifice more than he can ever win back. And Andre realizes to follow his heart and achieve his perfect performance, he’ll be living a life his ancestors would never understand.
Everyone wants to be perfect, but when perfection loses its meaning, how far will you go? What would you give up to be perfect? A riveting and startling companion to the bestselling Impulse, Ellen Hopkins's Perfect exposes the harsh truths about what it takes to grow up and grow into our own skins, our own selves.

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

She doesn't believe that after everything she's been through, she can fall in love. She's wrong.

I did a book that was published a couple of years ago that I want, a book that is out now that I want, and a book (two this time) that isn't published yet that I want!! All of these books are/sound amazing and I want them so bad!
