Unpopular opinion: I hate the Uglies book series
#take this with a grain of salt bc i haven't read them in a long time but#the way it handle beauty standards was fairly shallow#it doesn't address ppl who would /actually/ be considered unattractive by modern beauty standards rather than just 'normal' attractive ppl#from what i remember it didn't touch on how race affected beauty standards much if at all#and was REALLY gross about this tribe it introduced of ignorant forest dwelling ppl who considered living to 40 a long lifespan#and were portrayed as primitive fools. Not racist caricatures at all nope/s#the first 2 books ended the EXACT same#'Shay has her feelings hurt by Tally. Shay becomes a bad guy- has surgery. Tally turns herself in for surgery to infiltrate and save Shay'#Zane was the most pointless disposable love interest in a YA dystopia. They had zero chemistry and he was killed off for being bland#and omg the future slang was so freaking annoying I couldn't stand it#The one piece of credit I will give it is that it never made her male best friend a love interest.
