(Finished the book)

There are certainly a lot of obstacles that the protagonist Tally, in my book has had to overcome. The main obstacle that left a huge impression on me was that Tally has to choose between being pretty and her friend Shay. Of course, the authorities have gave Tally this kind of choice and she had to choose. Never be pretty again, but have a friend, Shay. Or find her friend and turn her in, then finally become a pretty. It was very hard when you know that you want both shay and be pretty, but that's not possible. It would all be different if Shay wanted to be pretty, but she just didn't. When Shay had ran away, Tally had to learn so many new things that were in the pretties side. Tally overcame this main, big obstacle, by choosing to never be pretty,but have her friend Shay back. It took sometime for Tally to think, and realize what is more important. This surely is true friendship.
