Tally is excited to turn sixteen --- and no, not for her license but for finally being able to turn pretty. In Tally's world, turning sixteen brings an operation that turns you from a repellent ugly to a bubbly pretty and being able to party day and night in a stunning high tech paradise. And finally, in a few weeks, Tally will be there.
But Tally's new friend, Shay, isn't all that sure she wants to be pretty. Shay would rather be on the outside, and when Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side about being pretty --- and it isn't that pretty. The authorities offer Tally a choice that will change her life. Either find her friend or never turn pretty. Ever. The choice Tally chooses just might change her life forever.
I actually tried reading this in 5th grade, but it didn't interest me. But now as I read it again, it was definitely an amazing science fiction. The idea is completely original and the story was suspenseful and thrilling. I highly recommend this book.
