Extras, by Scott Westerfeld (Simon Pulse, 2007)

Years after Tally Youngblood changed society, new cultures have sprung up. Aya Fuse lives in a society where fame is everything, and popularity ranking reaps the benefits. With a pathetic ranking down around 450,000, she’s desperate to improve her standings, so she infiltrates a strange new clique called the Sly Girls, and in doing so, not only uncovers a huge secret, but soon rises to a fame all her own. But will she survive everyone knowing her name? Once again, Westerfeld turns out an intriguing, compelling story, which takes its inspiration from today’s obsessions and puts a unique twist on them. I’m never disappointed with his stories, and Extras is a great addition to the Uglies series.
