This was a fun YA novel in a dystopian society where the face and body you are born with becomes altered at 16 years old. The society has deemed your physical aesthetics from birth categorize you as an ugly or a littlie. 

The struggles that Tally has to overcome once she meets Shay changes her thinking about getting the “pretty” surgery. She struggles with her own viewpoints from being raised in this society and the other information that is shared with her throughout the book.
