Uglies

4 cookies
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. Everyone in this world is ugly, until they turn 16 and are turned beautiful by surgeons. Tally is excited to become "pretty", but then her best friend runs away rather than become "pretty", and Tally learns that there is much more to it than just becoming "pretty". They change your brain to make you pliable and stupid, basically. The basic premise reminded me of one of my all time favorite books The Alliance by Gerald Lund.
