Review: Tally is getting ready to turn sixteen and she cannot wait. She will no longer be ugly and have the facial features and imperfections she was born with that make her unique. Instead, she will be surgically altered to "perfection" and look like everyone else. In her world, this is normal. This is what everyone does. Her best friend is only a few months older than her and turned into a Pretty already and this left her in search of a new friend to hang out with and she finds Shay. But, Shay doesn't want to be a Pretty, she just wants to be herself. She runs away and leaves Tally in a difficult situation. She must either find Shay and tell the authorities where she is or never become a Pretty herself. In her search for Shay she learns the secrets behind her home and society. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss.
