Last Trick p.85 Post 14

Respond to the following quote, what does it mean to you?

"We don't have to look like everyone else, Tally, and act like everyone else. We've got a choice. We can grow up any way we want."

This quote really means that Shay wants Tally to really think if this is what she wants with her life. Also, it means that Shay probably knows what the life of a pretty is like, which makes her not want to become one.
