Pretties (Turtleback School & Library) | 
so-soThe story is promising, there‘s a lot of good in there. But a lot of it is also very annoying. I didn‘t particularly enjoy the writing, or the characters, and I really despised the language/slang that was created for this universe. It drove me nuts 😂 maybe this would be better read than listened to… I dno!
Need some input, please!As y‘all can tell from my last review, I finished the first of this series a few days ago. The second had no wait list on my library so I started it just now. Early on, like VERY early, they casually drop the r-slur. That‘s a massive turn off for me. I don‘t like it, but I can get thru older books that use this kinda language, but this is what? A 2005 work? Bit of a turn off. Is this series worth it? Keep going or drop it?
so-soIt wasn't really easy to relate to characters, I don't know why. At least romance came almost as a surprise and it wasn't gradually builded.
I remember how I loved the first book, but this didn't have likewise horrifying atmosphere. There were scenes that had potential to get me scared but they failed doing that.
Story was good and I got to know new things about this world. The ending was also exciting and made me curious about the sequel.
pickTally finds ways to be bubbly with the help of some friends. The second book to the Uglies series.
so-soThis was the follow up book to uglies. It was a great book but I was not as captivated throughout the second one as the first. It was still a book I enjoyed and am going to finish the series.
so-soI finished this for the 24b4Monday challenge and forgot to leave the review!!
Not quite as good as the first one but definitely an interesting concept to continue reading about!
Tally finally becomes a “Pretty” - everything should be perfect for her now! No worries anymore! But why does she have this nagging feeling that something is not right? Will she ever remember the secrets she learned when she was an Ugly?

I am using this as my freezer book because I have tried to read it countless times over the last three years, and have not been able to finish it as I get into other books and forgot about this one.

pickGood story. I enjoyed this second installment of Tally‘s life. She seems to be a pretty amazing person. This is usually how it is with these kinds of books. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickMuch better than Uglies! It was a fast read and now I am wondering if I can finish the series this week!
📚 tagged I loved this whole series

so-soWasn‘t as good as the first. There was a lot of action that had me confused on what was going on. Hoping the 3rd is better!
"Tally has finally become pretty. Now her looks are beyond perfect, her clothes are awesome, her boyfriend is totally hot, and she's completely popular. It's everything she's ever wanted. But beneath all the fun -- the nonstop parties, the high-tech luxury, the total freedom -- is a nagging sense something is wrong."

Currently in hospital on bed rest so going to make a dent on this and make it number 200
pickStayed up until 1:30am last night trying to finish and just couldn't quite make it. Now I have to start book 3 to find out where Specials will take me... #sleeplessnights #cantstopwontstop #reading
panI just didn't care for this. The concept is really interesting and it could have been a really interesting book. The problem is the voice and the writing. I just couldn't get into it and didn't care for it at all.
