Tally's world is flawless—perfect looks, endless parties, and a hot boyfriend. But a haunting message from her past shatters the illusion. As she uncovers the truth about her pretty life, Tally faces a perilous choice: forget what she knows or fight for survival. With authorities determined to silence her, Tally must decide if she can risk everything to expose the dark reality beneath the surface. Will she embrace the truth or succumb to the seductive facade? The stakes are high, and the clock is ticking in this gripping dystopian tale.

From the publisher

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.
