Beauty Queens
by Libba Bray
Imagine a plane load of superficial, not exactly super smart teenage beauty queens crash landing on a deserted island and trying to survive long enough to win Miss Teen Dream when they finally get rescued. You're probably right when you imagine girly bitch fits, a lot of cheer and a whole load of belly laughs.
While this book seemed right up my alley, I was definitely disappointed in it. The concept was really funny but I felt like the book was about 100-150 pages too long considering the type of satirical humor that this book was basically stuffed with. I liked all the girls and their back stories. I always loved the LGBT theme that was in the book as well.
The story took a bit of a downturn when the 'pirates' arrived and it just dragged out after that. I get what Libba Bray was trying to do, but it just didn't quite appeal to me.
