To be honest, I did what you're not supposed to do: I judged a book by its cover. I was at the library, looking for a fun, light, yay-it's-summer read and saw Beauty Queens, complete with bikini-clad gal with lipstick bandoleer on the cover. I vaguely remembered some booktubers recommending it so I grabbed it. I prepared myself for fluff reading. I was very wrong. This book had depth and included issues with race, sexism, stereotypes, and consumerism. It's a dark humor/satire sort of book so on the surface it's a light and fun read, but there's often a dark side lurking underneath it. And I like snark, so I quickly found that I enjoyed the book lots.
