Uglies/YMMV


 * Alternate Character Interpretation: One essay in the companion book Mind-Rain paints Shay as a Psycho Lesbian.
 * And another essay portrays her as a Draco in Leather Pants.
 * Fridge Horror: Zane went to a costume party dressed in a black outfit with a red armband. And the Pretties don't even know how bad the Nazi's were, even if they knew who Zane was dressed as.
 * Les Yay: Shay gets awfully jealous whenever Tally gets a boyfriend. This arguably becomes
 * Somewhat intentional -- the author purposely used gender-neutral terms when Shay asks Tally where she got her locket in Uglies. Westerfeld was careful not to make his utopian future a heteronormative society.
 * Moe: All young Pretties have to look young and vulnerable.
 * No Such Thing As Bad Publicity: In-universe in Extras, thanks to their new economy system.
