A parent might reach for this book when they see their teen struggling with body image, social media pressure, and the intense desire to fit in. It powerfully tackles the modern pressures of beauty standards in a world where a cosmetic procedure called 'Pretty' is mandatory for girls at eighteen. The story follows two teens on opposite sides of the issue: one who embraces the system and one who fights it. This book is a fantastic conversation starter about feminism, conformity, self-acceptance, and critical thinking. For ages 13 and up, it provides a safe, engaging way to explore complex feelings about appearance and the courage it takes to define beauty for yourself.
