The fifty contestants in the Miss Teen Dream pageant thought this was going to be a fun trip to the beach, where they could parade in their state-appropriate costumes and compete in front of the cameras. But sadly, their airplane had another idea, crashing on a desert island and leaving the survivors stranded with little food, little water, and practically no eyeliner. What’s a beauty queen to do? Continue to practice for the talent portion of the program — or wrestle snakes to the ground? Get a perfect tan — or learn to run wild? And what should happen when the sexy pirates show up? Welcome to the heart of non-exfoliated darkness.

Great fun and also a great satire of power and gender structures. If you come in thinking "surely no one will die" then you'll be surprised because that contrast between humor and darkness is apparent in the first chapter. It is well researched together with real people which I appreciate there are so many different girls in this book that lift the issues of how the world portrays them, transgender women and women of color and bisexuality and homosexuality and pleasure and societal pressure and capitalism-- yeah it's all this and also... fun? Just real good lighthearted and heavyhearted fun? I can't explain it, you just have to read it for yourself to know. It was really unpredictable too, I had no idea where the story would go next and but at the same time there was a lot of foreshadowing and just overall a great listen! The "commercial breaks" fit the audiobook format very well.

Beauty queens är som en blandning mellan legally blonde och Robinson Crusoe, Bray parodierar den amerikanska kapitalismen på ett sätt som håller än idag. Samtidigt som jag kände igen mig mycket i tjejernas upplevelser och tankar. Det är en sån där bok som man önskar att man läst får tio år sen.
