About the book: 

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.
