I think the cover the publishers chose for this book fits it well. The novel is centered on a girl as the main character and the majority of her face is the front cover. Her face is flawless and there is a sparkle in her right eye which really brings out the whole “I have chosen to become a pretty and no one can take that away from me” attitude built up from the first book in the series. Tally, the main female character, continues to grow in her new pretty world which fits the cover perfectly. The publishers gave her a serious face because most of the time Tally has a serious, daring tone she takes on throughout the novel. But I think they should have changed her stern mouth into more of a smirk because she has cheated the system in so many ways. I wouldn’t say Tally is all that honest and the face she currently has on the cover gives off the vibe of I have nothing to hide. For example, Tally has begun taking these illegal pills for a friend to kill the lesions off of her brain the surgery has caused. By killing the lesions, she will still have the appearance of a ‘pretty’ but she will think like her normal self. That is one of the many examples of how she has cheated the system in the Pretties. The way the publishers took a large poster image and wrapped it around to the back cover is very different which makes this cover very unique. I haven’t seen many books with that type of image on the front. The image is very realistic and that is something I like about books covers.
