About this listen
In Tally's world your 16th birthday brings an operation that turns you from a repellant Ugly into a stunningly attractive Pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise, where your only job is having a really good time. Just before her birthday, Tally discovered that turning Pretty comes with a terrible price. She vowed to accept the operation but with the understanding that her friends on the outside would rescue her and let her be the guinea pig for the experimental and highly dangerous cure they're developing.
But in the second book of the Uglies series, Tally's Pretty. And everything's changed. The new, Pretty Tally is totally happy right where she is. She doesn't think she needs any kind of cure at all. When someone from her Ugly life shows up with a message, Tally has a hard time listening. Did she really promise to give all this up? Is she bound by a promise she made when she was a different person? If there is anything left of the old Tally, how will she fight her way out to keep her word and help her friends?

For a YA novel there was a lot of heavy topics such as self harming and eating disorders. As an adult I was able to see it for what it is but was very concerning and made me cringe every time it popped up.
(spoilers)
The love interest in the first book was completely written out and didn't come back until the end of the book! The new love interest that came pretty early on was really unlikeable in my opion.
lots of triggering content, ED and SH
