I love Libba Bray. She's sarcastic, funny and she would be the girlfriend who would say what we were all thinking aloud. She hits another homerun with Beauty Queens. A group of girls who are competing in a beauty pageant are part of an airplane crash that leaves them stranded on a "deserted islalnd". What happens to this small group of girls who have been known for their beauty and not their survival skills is the center of this new novel. I could totally see this book turned into a show for Teen Nick. The author pokes fun of beauty pageants, commercialism that has seemed to have enveloped them as well as our love for scripted realty TV. Honestly, there were so many parts that I couldn't stop laughing because it was so funny.
This is definitely a high school book with sexual references and some language.
Library Chick Rating - Scrambled....really close to an omelet but because it is such a smart and sarcastic book, it might be lost on some.
