The science fiction novel starts by following a teenager named Tally Youngblood living in a dystopian world 300 years into the future, where people are given a plastic surgery operation to become “pretty” on their 16th birthday and then cross to another part of the city to live a carefree life. So if you’re asking yourself, ‘Wait, what was Uglies about again?’ Here it is… For myself, it’s been a long, long time since I’ve heard or seen the name Uglies, and has remained in the fabric of my humble beginnings with the YA genre for over a decade. It’s particularly exciting to see Uglies finally moving forward with a movie adaptation because its subject matter actually feels more relevant right now than it has ever been.
