Beauty Queens
Ratings38
Average rating3.6
The contestants of the Miss Teen Dream pageant are only concerned with practicing their circle turns, dance numbers, and benign answers to interview questions until their plane crashes on a tropical island. Now, with sequins and hair dryers scattered everywhere, the survivors face a huge dilemma: should they search for food and water or continue diligently preparing to appear on national television? The Corporation is counting on them to uphold standards of beauty and behavior, but can the girls count on The Corporation?

Satire and thoughtful commentary in a like-totally-fun package! I adored this audiobook, and the author's performance of the characters took it to 11. Off to read more Libba Bray ASAP.
Fun book with a message. The “commercial breaks” were incredibly annoying for me however.
“And what did you find?”“I love myself. They make it so hard for us to love ourselves.” Taylor stared off into the dark. Her face gleamed with tears. Snot ran over her lips. “The judges won't like that answer.”“Nobody's judging you.”Taylor choked on a sob. “Always,” she whispered.
— About beauty pageant contestants stuck on an island due to a plane crash, and how they help one another learn to love themselves for who they are, not what the world demands them to be. A hilarious feminist satire on beauty and consumerism. Awesome read!
