Beauty Queens by Libba Bray
A plane full of Miss Teen Dream contestants crash lands on a deserted island. The fourteen survivors of the plane crash are left to try and survive by themselves using only their wits and suitcases full of evening gowns and eyelash curlers. Surprisingly, they manage to work out a system of survival, and always with a “Miss Teen Dream” flourish. Little do they know that their island is not deserted at all, but the home of secret headquarters for the Corporation. And the Corporation does not want fourteen teenage girls getting in the way of their plans. They will have to be done away with, but the Corporation has never had to face the fury of a Miss Teen Dream.
I loved this book. It was hilarious. I loved the characters, and how you got to know each of the fourteen girls separately. It’s a fun combination of pageant drama and survival. I would definitely recommend it to any girl (I don’t think the guys would be on board for this one). I just love the ingenious ways that the girls learn to survive. I would never have thought that there were so many uses for a can of hair spray.
