My boss recommended this book to me. She told me that if I had enjoyed The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and was a fan of dystopian themes, I would enjoy this book. She was right. I loved the characters and the plot was interesting. I also love the message that this book delivered. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the dystopian genre. I can’t wait to read the rest.
About the Book:
Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can’t wait. Not for her license-for turning pretty. In Tally’s world, your sixteenth birthday brings an operation that turns you from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to have a really great time. IN just a few weeks, Tally will be there.
But Tally’s new friend Shay isn’t sure she wants to be pretty. She’d rather risk like on the outside. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world-and it isn’t very pretty. The authorities offer Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice Tally makes changes her world forever.
