She has finally crossed the bridge and is getting used to seeing all of her friends pretty faces, although they still amaze her. Shay has also become pretty and they are still best friends. Tally has an amazing boyfriend and is having a great time until someone from her past finds her in New Pretty Town and reminds her of what happened to her brain: turns out that when you get the operation, not only does it change your face, but it affects your brain as well. He also brings her two small pills and says that they are the cure. Tally is so shocked, she is afraid to take the pills alone, so she takes one and her boyfriend Zane takes the other. Tally sees the difference in her own behavior and Zane’s. But Zane starts getting extreme headaches, and Tally realizes that something has gone terribly wrong with the cure. The only way that Zane will have a chance of living is if the two of them can escape into the wild and find the woman who made the cure. Will they make it? Read the book and find out!
I LOVE this book! It is a great follow up to what happened in the first book of the series, Uglies. I highly recommend not only this book but the entire series!!!! I give this book a 11 out of 10J!!
