What book(s) are you currently reading?

"Perfect" by Ellen Hopkins.

It's unique in that she writes in poetry. This book is in the point of view of 4 different characters, each dealing with their own idea of "perfection" and what that means for them. The main struggles are: perfect love (and denying one's true identity), the perfect body (and how far you're willing to go to get it), and the perfect life (and giving up on your true dreams for success.... or what it means to be successful).

Here's a synopsis, if anyone is interested:
"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 that 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." - See more at: http://ellenhopkins.com/YoungAdult/perfect/#sthash.dduxfYyH.dpuf
