美人兒 Pretties

The way society enforces uniform standards in 'Pretties' feels so relevant to real-world beauty norms. I wonder what the author was thinking when creating this critique.

The characters' struggles with identity are so raw, but at times their decisions made me uneasy — especially when they conform to the system willingly.

The psychological impact seemed so nuanced—I'm curious whether this was based on research or purely fictional imagination.
