“I have two teenage daughters, and so I read a lot of young adult fiction, but Libba Bray’s young adult novel Beauty Queens is really a book for everyone. Teen beauty queens crash on a tropical island, and from that point on, the story is unstoppable. It’s not only a satire on how our culture defines girls, but it’s also a very cool and insanely hilarious adventure with a hefty dose of female empowerment. I laughed out loud all through it, but more importantly, it’s not a story I’ll ever forget.”
