Imagine a futuristic society where everyone is equally beautiful, thanks to extensive plastic surgery. Interestingly, everyone is also vegetarian, living separate from nature in compact cities with underground factories.
This is the world in which almost-16-year-old Tally lives. She's counting down the days until her birthday when she will be transformed from an "ugly" into a "pretty." Throw in a new friend who doesn't want to be a pretty and soon Tally finds herself struggling between wanting what she's been programmed to want her entire life...and being content with herself.
The messages in this young adult sci-fi aren't very deeply buried, but the story is fascinating nonetheless. This is the first book in a trilogy of four books. That's right, trilogy of four. Don't ask me.
