(4) YA Shallow mean girl Blake is determined to win the Pretty App's (a photo-sharing app) nationwide beauty contest, in which teen girls vote and finalists land on a reality show. Things quickly turn ugly, and Blake confronts some hard truths about image, beauty, and her relationships. Underdeveloped characters make it hard to care about the (predictable) outcome, but the timely concept will interest teens.
