Summary[from the book]:

Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait. Not for her license— for turning pretty. In Tally's world, your sixteenth birthday brings an operations that turns you from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to have a really great time. In just a few weeks Tally will be there.

But Tally's new friend Shay isn't sure she wants be pretty. She'd rather risk life on the outside. When Shay run's away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world— and it isn't very pretty. The authorities offer Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice is Tally makes changes her world forever.

This has been my second time reading Uglies. It's one of my favorite books and I plan on reading it again in the future. The plot is so intriguing and I love the characters. Especially David ;). Started to kind of hate Shay towards the end though. I recommend this book to anyone who would like to enjoy a good book. Scott Westerfeld did a great job on it and his fantasy world is going on my list of wishful things.
