Pretties

Pretties

Tally is finally pretty. She's accepted into an elite clique, called the Crims, and she's with her beautiful best friends, Shay and Peris. She has a perfect boyfriend, Zane, who is the leader of the Crims. Tally is beautiful and popular. It's everything she ever wanted.

But beneath all the fun, she has a nagging sense that something's wrong. Something important. Then a message from Tally's ugly past arrives. Reading it, Tally remembers what's wrong with the pretty life, and the fun stops cold.
Now she has to choose between fighting to forget what she knows and fighting for her life, because the authorites don't intend to let anyone with this information survive.

This is an awesome follow-up sequel to the first book, Uglies. Although, I like all the books in the Uglies series, I think Pretties is the book I liked the least. In the trilogy, Tally is the most annoying in this book. She is vapid and lazy like most pretties act, but remembering in Uglies how independent and rebellious she was, it made me sick to read this. I think most readers who have read this would have to agree that they fell in love with the books, because of Tally's sneaky, sly character. In Pretties, there is no sign of Tally being that way. It was a bit disappointing, but if you are a true fan of this book, then this is a definitely good read.
