Perfected is recommended to fans of The Chemical Garden Trilogy by Lauren DeStefano, ad it definitely fits the bill.
Ella is a pet. She’s been told how to behave, and make her owners happy. She’s not supposed to have thoughts of her own. When she starts wanting things, she thinks something is wrong with her. I loved all of the characters, except for the congressman. He seriously creeped me out. He’s not necessarily mean, but he’s possessive and doesn’t want anything to happen to the family pet.
This world of pets is awful. It brings to light how awful it can be to be owned, and pretty much enslaved. The pets don’t get a voice in anything that happens to them, they are just sold off to the highest bidder. There were so many times that I would cringe when things were said about the pets.
Perfected makes you think about the price of perfection, and the morality of having pets in this world.
