"Pretties" by Scott Westerfeld

Warning: This is the second book in a series. If you haven't read the first book, "Uglies", you may not want to read this.

Pretties by Scott Westerfeld in my opinion was even better then the first book,Uglies. It's a wonderful YA novel. You have suspense just like the first book did. Maybe more. You have a love story,  that seems to be branching into a love triangle  and you have your almost heart breaking moments. The book has you asking questions, and wanting to the know the answers as soon as possible. The book leaves you wanting more.

Pretties picks up right where Uglies left off. Tally turned herself into the Specials so they'd make her pretty. Tally didn't want to be pretty anymore, but she had to test the medicine David's mom made. She had to save her friend Shay, since she's the one who technically screwed Shay's life up. When Tally left, she left with some uncertainties. We as in the readers and Tally don't know if David would forgive her or if they were officially over forever.  Unfortunately after the surgery to become pretty, almost all of your memories and feelings from the ugly days are forgotten. Tally forgot the only boy she ever loved. The only person who made her feel pretty without truly meeting the worlds pretty standards. She forgot David. Tally made friends with a clique called the Crims who all remembered they're really bubbly moments. The night Tally was suppose to be officially voted into the clique, some of her ugly pals snuck in to the party in New Pretty Town and left her with a message.  Leaving herself greatly confused, still not really remembering anything from the ugly days. Soon after a relationship blooms between Tally & another pretty from the Crims. It's up to them to try and remember what's going on. They have to get their minds back, and lead themselves and their friends out of the city. In which mayhem and hell break loose. Leaving Tally the opportunity to uncover some more truth as to where the Specials found out what exactly to change in an uglies mind.

There's was no struggle getting into this book, like there had been with first one. The first book left me with too many questions, in which I was determined to find out. I liked the new Crim guy Tally was dating, but the whole time she was trying to remember her past, I was thinking... DAVID....hello??? What about him. The people in the smoke? Come on now. Think! The book definitely had my attention the whole time. They had to do some pretty crazy stuff in attempts to get their memories back, and get out. I can't wait to start the third book, Specials.
