What this book is about
The first book in Westerfeld's return to the Uglies universe, set decades after the original trilogy in a world where cities have stabilized into uneasy coexistence. Frey has been raised since birth to be a body double for her famous twin Rafi — living in hiding, trained in combat, with no identity of her own. When she goes on a mission disguised as Rafi and things go wrong, Frey must decide who she actually is. Westerfeld's sequel series uses the Uglies setting to ask deeper questions about identity and consent.
