Tally has finally become 'pretty'. Her looks are beyond perfect, her clothes are cool, her boyfriend's gorgeous, and she's completely popular. It's everything she's ever wanted. But beneath all the fun is a nagging feeling that something's wrong.Thoughts
I actually enjoyed this book, and found that the underlying message of beauty only being skin deep to be such a big one, and a big motivator for me to find out what happened in the bookYou can tell just from the cover that this is a cautionary tale on the effects of beauty being only skin-deep, and about cosmetic surgery.
I found Tally to be a really good character and at the start she is quite fickle, she wanted to become pretty so that she could be with her best friend, and her parents, and she only had so long to wait, this is all jeopardised when she meets Shay who also has sneaked into New Prettytown.
I loved the friendship between Tally and Shay, Shay opens Tally's eyes that being pretty is not going to be all it is cracked up to be, and that there is another way to live.
I found Tally did grow through the book especially after she met David and started to live with the Smokies, she realised that there is another way to be and she doesn't have to be Pretty.
I found the ending to be such a twist, and it made me want to read the next in the series, Uglies.
