Reads & Rants Podcast: Episode 3 — The Pretty Party

In this Episode:

In this episode of the Reads & Rants Podcast, we dive into Scott Westerfeld’s Pretties, the second installment in the Uglies series. Join us as we break down the world of New Pretty Town and Tally Youngblood’s ongoing battle with identity, control, and what it truly means to be “Pretty.” From her thrilling (and risky!) escape plans to her relationship with Zane, we explore the most jaw-dropping moments, dissect the most impactful quotes, and, of course, rant about the dystopian madness of a society obsessed with beauty.
