Science Fiction: Pretties


This book is the middle volume of a trilogy by Scott Westerfield. In this sequel to Uglies, Tally Youngblood has all but forgotten her previous life as a teenage renegade. The surgery that made her and all her friends into physically mindless Pretties has made her content to enjoy a carefree life of pleasure...almost.

Tally can't shake the feeling that something is missing, so when a mysterious stranger from the Big Smoke gives her some pills that he says will "cure" her, she splits them with her boyfriend Zane. Her choice propels her and Zane into a headlong flight, as they discover that their beauty and life of pleasure come at a terrible price.
