I really enjoyed this book and the next books in the collection. There was mystery and romance and intrigue; however, it's seems like nothing ever works out for the main character the way you want it too. If you are a hopeless romantic and are looking for a definite happy ending then this series is not for you. On the other hand, it is a well written book and keeps your interest.

A daughter of a book club member, a junior in high school, loved this book and the series. All book club members read it. The message was uglies get to be pretties if they give up their ability to be truly human. No more stresses, no more conflicts, everything is on the surface. Is this true happiness? Certainly recommend to teenagers to read and discuss. Adult book clubs didn't offer conflicted discussion.

Don't mean to be a bubble head, but found the book entertaining.
