BEAUTY COMES AT A PRICE. AND GIRLS MUST PAY.

In Belle and Joni's world there are two options for girls:

One, follow the rules of the Doctrine like Belle: apply your Mask, work hard to be crowned at the Ceremony, be a Pretty.

Or two, fight the rules like Joni: leave your face bare, work hard to escape to the Education, be an Objectionable.

But maybe there is a third option...
Change the rules. Reclaim your power. If you can...

What would you choose?

Warning - this novel deals with issues that some readers may find upsetting, including references to pornography and sexual assault.

You Could Be So Pretty Reviews

Holly Bourne is a vital feminist voice of our generation - a voice resolved to break the dangerous silences around sexism. Her writing peels the varnish off patriarchy, celebrates the power of female solidarity and friendship, and bears witness to both the pain and the joy of being a woman in the modern world. * Samantha Shannon, author of The Bone Season *
Such a wild, gripping, smart, delicious read! I love it with all my readerly heart! * Jennifer Niven, author of All the Bright Places *
Holly's novel is brilliant and frightening. If you know a teenage girl, pre-order this for her as the best gift she'll receive this year. * Sarah Crossan, author of One *
I devoured this - so compelling and with such a powerful message. Bravo Holly Bourne! * Katherine Webber, co-author of Twin Crowns *
This book will make you angry, in a good way. Holly shines a light on the dysfunctional way our society keeps women and girls small and apologetic by relentlessly targeting our bodies in a way that's as clever as it is compelling. I couldn't put it down. * Natasha Devon *
