This is heavy-duty satire laden with exaggeration and stereotyping, but it is purposeful and FUN. Bray packs so much material into her story (both the adventure and the subtext) that I was happy to suspend disbelief and be drawn into the world built by the beauty queens on their desert island. At times I wished she would address specific issues rather than so many social structures, but her all-encompassing approach reinforces the message that girls can challenge any boundary preventing them from thriving.
