Rating:Four Stars
First,let me explain about the world in this book. From birth to age 11,you are considered a Littlie and live with your parents. From age 12 to 15,you are considered an Ugly. Friends have nicknames for each others flaws,such as Squinty and Shorty. You live in a dorm with your friends. At age 16,you get a life altering surgery. You receive flawless skin,large eyes,and full lips,along with other changes to hair and height. After this transformation,you are a Pretty. You live in mansions and have parties all day and night till about 30,when you get another surgery that makes you look more adult. You get a job and raise your own littlies. After the age of 90 you get another surgery that makes you have softer skin and lighter hair and you stay that way for the rest of your life,where you live to be about 117!
Tally Youngblood is a 15 year old Ugly,and she can't wait for the treatment. Her best friend just turned 16 and is living in New Pretty Town having the time of his life,Tally finds out after sneaking over. While waiting for those long 3 months to pass,Tally makes a new friend called Shay. Shay doesn't want to become pretty and runs away to the "Smoke" to live with a guy called David after Tally turns her down to come with her.
Finally,it's Tally's big day. But terrifying pretties take her to their lab and tell her the bad news. These people called Specials know that Shay has run away,leaving Tally in a mess. Tally must find Shay and turn her in,or never become pretty. Tally chooses to find Shay and the Smoke. But she soon finds the reason this place exists. The reason isn't very pretty. Tally must make the choice to continue with the mission or become a wanted rebel.
I love this book!It seems like a shallow plot with people living in Pretty Town and everyone is happy,but it's anything but that!There are extreme plot twist,and I finished this book in 5 days. There was a huge cliffhanger at the end,leading me to start a frantic search for the next book!I would recommend this book to people who like survival,utopian realities,betrayal,and dehydrated spaghetti called SpagNoods.
