Synopsis

The second installment of Scott Westerfeld’s New York Times bestselling and award-winning Uglies series—a global phenomenon that started the dystopian trend.

Tally has finally become pretty. Now her looks are beyond perfect, her clothes are awesome, her boyfriend is totally hot, and she’s completely popular. It’s everything she’s ever wanted.

But beneath all the fun—the nonstop parties, the high-tech luxury, the total freedom—is 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 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 authorities don’t intend to let anyone with this information survive.

Tally has forgotten the price for turning pretty when she has become a Crim. She has everything she wanted: popularity, bubbly and cool friends, and a new hot boyfriend. What can be worse she wonders? As a friend from the New Smoke gives her the letter she told Shay to write back when she was ugly, along with 2 pills.. That's when trouble starts for her and Zane... Again, Scott Westerfeld has created something more than amazing =
