Beauty Queens by Libba Bray
After a plane crash strands teen beauty pageant contestants on a remote island, the girls repurpose their pageant skills to forage, build shelter, and confront the toxic messages that once defined them. As unlikely friendships form, they uncover a corporate conspiracy tied to a weapons deal and a manufactured reality-TV spectacle, even crossing paths with swaggering pirates. Equal parts survival adventure and satire, it traces their shift from competition to collective empowerment while skewering beauty standards, consumerism, and media spin.
