Pretties by Scott Westerfield

Well, the Blue Duke has been a bit lax in keeping up with the blog. It's been a few months since I posted. But I've been busy. School has started up and then there was the testing but now things have settled into a routine so I hope to start blogging a bit more often now. So, here is a book I recommend for you. The first book in the series was called The Uglies. This is the second book and there is one more after this. This is a really interesting book about a utopian society. Would you like to live here?

Tally Youngblood has become a pretty. She is living her new life just as the other new pretties -- partying and having fun with no worries. But she has a nagging feeling that there is something important that she has forgotten. Something she promised she'd never forget. And now her new boyfriend Zane keeps asking her questions about her time in the Smoke. Tally remembers some of it but can't understand why Zane would want to know. That was before. Before she was pretty. But the night of the party, Tally runs into Croy. He has risked everything to find Tally and remind her of her time at the Smoke. He has come to give her the cure. What is Croy talking about? The cure for what? Being pretty? But Tally remembers enough to try the cure. With Zane. But something has gone terribly wrong with Zane. And now the other Crims are asking about a cure. Is it time for Tally to come to grips with what is going on around her?
