Description
The mind-blowing new novel from the queen of UKYA, 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...
If Belle and Joni work together, can they destroy the rules and set themselves free?
Uglies meets The Handmaid's Tale in this visionary and timely dissection of the beauty industry.
