Everything seems to be going fine, until there are a series of robberies in town and then a couple of kids go missing. The book picks up right after A Place Called Perfect finishes, with the inhabitants rebuilding the town and their lives. The book in written in a very easy to manner and the chapters are quite short - roughly 8 pages each. The book is written in third person, with Violet being our narrator. The Trouble with Perfect is the second book in this series - I don't know how long it will be. The book stole my heart when they named their tea factory 'UniTea'! Truly a series I would recommend to anyone and I'm looking forward to the next installment already! I loved how Helena Duggan still was able to write children as children and not an adult mind pretending to be a child.

Paired with the message of how strong a mother's love is, this made for an emotional read for readers of any age. The message of caution in regards of mind control by the government, hate speech, inflicting fear and othering feels way to real and was mastered perfectly without ever feeling too much for a child to take in. I loved how it transported such adult-like topics into a story accessible to children.

The first one already had strong messages, but this one was even stronger. While it took me a bit longer to actually get into the story of this second book in the Perfect series, at the end it took my heart by storm. We are simply people, and we fight for that simple truth.' We are men and women and children and husbands and wives and No-Man's-Landers and Perfectionists.
