The 50 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?

Excellent listen
I recently joined audible to listen to stories while at work all day. I got sick of the repeat playlists on my music streaming apps. This book was my first selection. I had tried reading it when I was a teenager but couldn’t follow along even though I really enjoyed the story. The audio version was done in a way where I was able to put the pieces together and fully understand the story. This is a great book for anyone who enjoys young adult fantasy and romance. Very fast paced and thrilling.

The Narrator Brings This Novel To Life
Although fantasy, this novel is an excellent introduction for girls to understand the strictures of female life and expectations in Victorian society.
It's a real shame that Jo Wyatt didn't narrate all three of the unabridged versions. She brings such distinction and vitality to all of the characters. I love her energetic voice and wish she would narrate more audiobooks. I recommend her rendition of Alice in Wonderland as well.
