內容簡介
【當美不再有差別,我的面貌不是我的模樣】
塔莉即將年滿16歲,而她已經快等不及了。因為再過幾周,她就可以接受成年禮整形手術,化腐朽為神奇、化醜陋成奇蹟,將會讓她重獲新生、得取極致之美。而作為一位美人之後,她將登上高科技的天堂,在那裡唯一要做的就是無盡享樂。
但塔莉的朋友雪伊不確定變成美女是否就是她想要的,她不想改變她原本的長相,更不想接受「改造」變得跟大家「一樣美」。當雪伊逃跑後,塔莉才對這世界有重新的認識,美的另一面,而且不是非常賞心悅目。當局給塔莉兩個選擇,找到雪伊並將她帶回來,或者永遠無法變漂亮。塔莉的抉擇將永遠改變她的人生。
Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can’t wait. In just a few weeks she’ll have the operation that will turn her from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty. And as a pretty, she’ll be catapulted into a high-tech paradise where her only job is to have fun.
But Tally’s new friend Shay isn’t sure she wants to become a pretty. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world—and it isn’t very pretty. The authorities offer Tally a choice: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. Tally’s choice will change her world forever.
