Everybody gets to be supermodel gorgeous. What could be wrong with that?
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 life 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.

Dnf 8% couldn???t connect to the story or characters. Probably more a me problem than the book, but I???m going to stick with 1st person narratives in the future.
Interesting premise. A quick, easy read, but nothing groundbreaking.
I honestly LOVED the book. I got into it very fast. I think it was the thought that this book took place hundreds of years in the future, or that it took place in North America, or the fact that one girl and her friends took down a Dystopian society. SPOILER ALERT!!!!!I have all the books in this series/trilogy and I am looking forward to see what happens when David goes to get Tally and Shay. SPOILER DONE!!!!! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good adventure with a bit of rebellion.
