Uglies pretties books5/19/2023 ![]() ![]() Shay teaches Tally to ride a hoverboard, and unlike most uglies, Shay insists that they use their real names instead of rude nicknames about their features. Back near the river, Tally meets an ugly girl named Shay waiting to go back across to Uglyville. Peris makes Tally promise not to get into too much trouble before she has her surgery. He points out that the scar on his palm from their blood pact to always stick together is gone (he got new skin with the surgery) and he takes Tally to the roof so she can jump off the building using a bungee jacket. When she finds Peris, he’s not happy to see her. Pretty people have big eyes and lips and perfectly symmetrical faces. When it’s dark, Tally sneaks across the bridge from Uglyville, where she and other uglies live, to New Pretty Town, where all the pretties live. Nothing has looked beautiful since Tally’s best friend, Peris, underwent his pretty operation a few months ago. 15-year-old Tally stares morosely at the sunset, which is the pink color of cat vomit. ![]()
