Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

4.0

This book was really long but totally worth it! I absolutely loved the characters even if I did get frustrated with them at times! The romance was super cute but also very subtle! This book takes place in a dystopian city where for the first 16 year of your life you are told you are ugly, everyone counts down the days until the turn 16 so that they can get an operation that will turn them pretty. Yet as Tally Youngblood gets closer to her birthday and makes a new friend over the summer she realizes the whole concept might be more than meets the eye. It was so cool to read Tally’s journey as she tries to figure out who to trust. This book was so good and had me on the edge of the seat the whole time!
