  The One Where We Re-read UGLIES

  May 15, 202644 minS7

  S7E4: Some books age better than others…is UGLIES by Scott Westerfeld one of them? With the dystopian genre picking back up in popularity (perhaps due to global politics), we spend this episode with a re-read of Scott Westerfeld’s UGLIES. It’s crazy to think that this book came out almost twenty years ago, and let’s just say that reading it again at 30 was quite the mixed bag experience! Our deep dive discussion leaves no stone unturned. We delve into the nuances of the UGLIES world, the characters, the plot, our favourite lines, and the immense amount of hoverboarding – and by the end of our chat, you could say we had a new-found appreciation for this middle-school classic. In a time where the pressure to be ‘pretty’ is more demanding than ever, the message at the core of UGLIES hits home no matter your age.
