However, her friend Shay decides she would rather stay ugly and runs away before she gets the operation herself.

I personally hope that in the novel “Pretties” (the sequel to Uglies), Something happens that will result in Tally not becoming “pretty”.

the first in a trilogy of novels set in a futuristic world in which everyone is surgically altered at the age of sixteen to be pretty.
