Publisher's summary

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?

Amazingly heart wrenching

Everything in this book seems dystopian, exaggerated but when you stop to think of it you realise how close to our everyday life. Once again a masterpiece from Holly Bourne who never disappoints.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
