I think, it is a very nice Dystopian Novel for YA readers, who at this age probably especially struggle with their appearance. It is a good way to reflect on the differences we as humans have and that every person looks unique. 
However, I felt like it was a bit dumbed down for the recommended reading age being 12-17. Some of the characters' actions or the overall plot were pretty predictable.
