![]() ![]() The quiet home-schooled girl suddenly in the spotlight now that she is PRETTY. The beautiful cheerleader labelled UGLY, not for what is on her outside but on her inside. The popular girl whose attempts to overcome an eating disorder are put into jeopardy when the PRETTY label validates her negative behaviour. The outcast who wears the UGLY label as a badge of honour for all the wrong reasons. Every girl has her own unique story and every one somehow manages to get their due in what is a pretty succinct book. The List manages to follow not one but EIGHT different characters all with more depth, poignancy and intricacy then most YA books with a single bland heroine manage. ![]() I loved The List – a story of eight teenage girls, four named the prettiest in their school and four named the ugliest who have to come to terms with both how they see themselves and how others see them. ![]()
