Bless her heart. She's trying so hard to help Celestine and even took on an alias to write illegal stuff against the guild. I'm not gonna say I like her cause she's done some questionable things, but she's grown on me.

I literally got sick reading the whole "sexual-harassment-and-assault-stripping-Celestine-of-both-her-clothes-and-dignity" scene. So, good job Cecelia. But, I do have one problem with it. WHY DIDN'T CELESTINE TRY TO FIGHT THEM OR LIKE SCREAM OR SOMETHING. SHE MAKES ME SO MAD SOMETIMES. I KNOW SHE'S FLAWED AND EVERYTHING AND TECHNICALLY NO ONE'S ALLOWED TO HELP HER, BUT IT'S JUST UNREALISTIC THAT SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. Also, Celestine baby what is you doin. Why did you wear a skin-tight dress to some guy's party when you know that literally the entire school hates you. I'm not gonna victim blame here, but she should've known better. I know she was hopeful that she was making friends and living a normal life, but come on. Also, her parents should've been more protective and tried to call her or something. Then, at least she maybe wouldn't have been stripped and had pictures taken of her. Also,,,, that Logan guy is a disgusting person. I wanted (and still do) to kill him. AND ANOTHER THING,,,,,,, THE POLICE ARE A JOKE. THEY LITERALLY SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP CELESTINE AT ALL AND THE SCHOOL JUST GAVE HER ATTACKERS A SLAP ON THE WRIST. WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL.

Whistleblowers are disgusting human beings who volunteer to make the lives of the flawed™ literal hell. It's super messed up.

The flawed™ system is really unfair to girls???? Like you'd have to be branded on your boob???? Jesus Christ that would hurt so much more than just being branded on a dude's pecs.

Silent Hatred and Anger - I say that there is a theme of hatred and anger in Flawed™ that isn't necessarily verbal. For example, Judge Crevan has a lot of anger and hatred for Celestine and though he doesn't just say I hate you (well like he gets pissed at her after she confesses and yells at her) he's one to hold a grudge. He literally made her get an extra brand since she didn't want to beg him to forgive her. He quite frankly doesn't act like he gives a crap but really he does and he wants her to submit to him like she used to and since she won't he gets even more mad and does crazy stuff like that. He also doesn't show mercy towards the Tinders and never really talks to them once their mom is Flawed™, also showing that he's kind of holding a grudge and lowkey hates them.

Character vs Society. Whether its Celestine, or any of the other flawed, they're all at some form of war with society. Judge Creven makes it seem as if it is the worst thing in the world to be anything other than perfect, and spreads that message across the media by twisting stories and making the situation seem even worse than it really is. In this society, Celestine is labeled as "flawed" , and was branded, so now the rest of society will look at her differently and wont see her the same way they had before. She has started a movement to help the flawed and keep them safe, and even more people are now disgusted with her, I can't wait to see just how far her movement can go, and just exactly the actions Judge Creven will do to try and stop her.

# data[].attributes.body
Discrimination
There is absolutely nothing in the flawed™ laws that says the flawed™ should be treated any different from the "normal" people, other than the dietary restrictions, gathering rules, and curfews. Once Celestine is branded, her peers, teachers, and even her own brother treat her differently. There is no reason for this beside the stigma against the flawed™. This theme of discrimination will be seen throughout the book as people treat the flawed™ and Celestine as inhuman.

I'm in a love-hate relationship with the pace of Flawed. Sometimes it's slow and painful to read because I like fast-paced books, but other times the slow pace works, like in the branding scene. There's also sections that are fast-paced, like when the Whistleblowers take Celestine's neighbor away and her appearance in court. This change in pace makes the book interesting to read and engaging for all types of readers.

I don't care if Carrick has barely spoken a word in this whole novel. I love him. His actions are intense and he doesn't care. His character is literally what I'm living for, and they way Cecelia describes him makes me just want to know everything about him. His personality is exactly what Celestine should turn into. Though, Celestine is feeling way too much for him for only knowing him after like two days. I feel a lot too, but not after two days. But also, I really can't wait until they do something rebellious and actually like fall in love because like duh that's where the plot line will end up going. Honestly though, Carrick is my literal favorite.

Chapter 27 is gore galore. I had to take a break in the middle before finishing it. It seems to be a short chapter too and felt like it took the longest to read. It's not even that Cecelia details everything with too much intensity, for me it's not enough. She lets me imagine whatever my mind wants to come up with. All I can see is this giant F, burned into her skin, like her skin is almost burned to nothing but red flesh and it's all red and pink and gooey. I could never even imagine how bad a burn like that could feel.

Celestine is slowly becoming more rebelious and is starting to go against the system. While Art, is not going against the system and might be trying to change Celestines thoughts on the system in order to keep her from being flawed, or even from potentially taking his dad out of power.

To read more than we have to, but, we must understand what we are reading and have many discussions about what we have read and what we think of the characters , etc.

Judge Crevan is an interestingly written character. In the beginning, he is introduced as a scary, distant character but becomes Celestine's ally for like one whole chapter. Then he immediately does a 180 and becomes her worst enemy. It's weird but it works because you never fully trust him, neither does Celestine.

Well, Celestine is still being dumb and doesn't really understand that she's being used in this society. Bosco is still putting words in her mouth to save her. But, she's starting to understand that she's changed too and what she's done isn't wrong, nor was. I also think she's developing an anger towards the Guild but, it is not as fierce as Carrick's but has the potential to be. As a reader, that isn't really surprising to me because I feel like that's how most novels like Cecelia's end up, where the main characters becomes enraged with the futuristic government that everyone else seems to think id perfect but in reality, is evil. Though, I do find Celestine more appealing since she's forgetting her "perfect" ways.

# data[].attributes.body
Judge Crevan is an awful, terrible, disgusting person (the scum of the earth, basically). But what makes me more mad is how good Cecelia Ahern is at writing. The branding scene made me sick because of the vivid imagery. I could smell, taste, hear, see, and feel everything that Celestine was experiencing and it was very upsetting. Good job, Cecelia.

# data[].attributes.body
I dislike Judge Crevan because he's literally telling Celestine to lie but lying deems people flawed™. Like dude???? You're already flawed™, don't make her incriminate herself.

This whole flawed system is really messed up and ironically has many flaws within itself

I dont think she's going to get out of jail, i think Art is going to man up and sneak her out of jail then they will be in hiding from the whistle blowers , then once they are found, they can be flawed together.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall, this book is kind of annoying. Everyone is really selfish. All they really care about it themselves and no one thinks it's okay to help those in need. I don't understand how being a genuinely nice person can deem you to be flawed. And the fact that no one in this book really truly supported Celestine and defended her shows that the society is poisoned into thinking that being super self-centered is okay. Also, whoever thought it was a good idea to create this whole system where only certain things make you flawed really bothers me. Especially since the head of this flawed council can be flawed himself.

There's no conclusion of any problems ever and it deeply upsets me.

Its an odd book with some upside to it

# data[].attributes.body
I VERY MUCH dislike Art. I know he's just following society's rules of not helping the flawed™, but I still think he should have defended Celestine's actions on the bus. Also, I just don't like how he constantly tries to shut her up when she talks about sensitive topics. I'd throw some hands if he did that to me.
