In Tallys world, looks are all that matters. And now that shes finally undertaken the surgery to become a Pretty, everything seems perfect: her looks are flawless, her clothes are cool, her boyfriend is totally gorgeous, and she's completely popular.

But beneath the fun of non-stop parties, high-tech luxury and apparent total freedom, Tally cant stop a nagging sense that something is wrong. Something important. Then a message from her Ugly past arrives, forcing Tally to remember the truth she learned before her transformation, and the fun stops cold.
