In perfect by Ellen Hopkins there can be many connections with reality. For example, the connection I can make is: Cara is with Sean, however she questions her love for him, instead of making it work she finds a new friend, this friend is a girl named Dani,who happens to be a lesbian, Cara again questions her feelings for Sean, noticing she has more feelings for Dani then him.”Love is a curious thing. Sometimes it barrels into you, leaves you breathless…” The connection between Cara and me is, I have/had friends who were dealing with the same thing. Questioning their sexuality and questioning their relationships with their spouse. Yes love can be a very complicated thing however sometimes its not always what you expect. Cara had the perfect grades, perfect boyfriend, and perfect friends. However is wasn’t until she met Dani when she realized it wasn’t so perfect after all.
