"Tally remembered crossing the river to New Pretty Town, watching them have their endless fun. She and Peris used to boast they'd never wind up so idiotic, so shallow. But when she'd seen him....... "Becoming pretty doesn't change the way you look," she said.
"No," David said. It changes the way you think."
This passage (actually this whole chapter really) is a really big turning point in the story. This part helps Tally figure out why Peris was acting shallow and weird. Now, Tally learns something very crucial. It turns out that the operation gives people lesions on their brain and even though they are "harmless" this causes them to think differently than an ugly would. This is really when the truth comes out.
And, that truth that erupts in these pages causes Tally's initial intentions to change as well. She's not sure how much she really wants to be a pretty anymore.
