About this listen

Uglies meets The Handmaid's Tale for the new YA generation, in the mind-blowing new novel from best-selling queen of YA Holly Bourne.

Beauty comes at a price. And girls must pay.

In Belle and Joni's world, there are two options for girls:

One, follow the rules of the Doctrine like Belle: apply your Mask, work hard to be crowned at the Ceremony, be a Pretty.

Or two, fight the rules like Joni: leave your face bare, work hard to escape to the Education, be an Objectionable.

But maybe there is a third option....

Change the rules. Reclaim your power. If you can....

What would you choose?
