This series just keeps getting worse. Plus every book is the same. Book one: Tally runs away and turns pretty. Book two: Tally is pretty, runs away and becomes special. It’s all the same. This is probably going to be the same review I did for the other two books. I really don’t like that every time Tally gets surgery she has a new personality you have to get used to. It’s like a new character every time. She is especially annoying in this book because of her “special” surgery. She’s really mean and puts down everyone who isn’t like her. I feel like she’s supposed to get through this during the book but she never does.

I also really hated the “cutting” part in the book. I think it’s a little too much to put in a book like this. I thought it was really stupid. The whole society doesn’t have any morals at all. They cut, they drink underage and they live all together when they’re only 16. It’s kinda weird.

I guess the story line wasn’t too bad in this book but I was too annoyed and distracted by everything else that I didn’t really enjoy it.
