SuitabookThe Pretty One

- Reading
- If appearance or surgery feels personal, agree that you can pause and talk as you read. You could also notice how the story treats Megan’s work on the sets, not only her looks.
- Themes
- Beauty and self-image: Megan wishes to resemble Lucy, who is described as beautiful and thin; after surgery, Megan is described as more beautiful than Lucy. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The story includes an accident that disfigures Megan’s face, followed by plastic surgery. It also foregrounds thinness, beauty and comparison between sisters; the extent of these topics is unclear.
