This book did not hold my attention like the first did - I suppose the novelty wore off. Tally has been made Pretty, but somehow she is not content. Memories of her adventures and friends in the Smoke have been erased but are slowly coming back. When she is contacted by an old "Smokie" friend, she remembers what she is supposed to be doing - prove that the cure for Prettiness works, and try to escape to the New Smoke. With her boyfriend Zane to help, they set about trying to liberate their Pretty friends.

The book was okay, but I found myself losing interest in Tally as a character, as well as the story as a whole. I suppose that young adults will find this series more compelling but for an adult it's pretty unsubstantial fare. Oh, I would read the next book if it comes my way for free, but I won't spend on it and would even hesitate to use a credit for it on my trading sites, depending on my mood.
