Customer Reviews

Funny, witty and heart breaking. A must read.

I loved this book and re-read it every summer to get ready for the Miss America Pageant. This is not just a story on how to win a crown, but a funny, witty and smart look at American culture. The author has brought a fresh eye to a subject that could have been reduced to "and then she wore ..." The Miss America Organization is not just a one time a year pageant but a thriving company. Anyone who wants to invent and run their own business should read this story - not only are the contestants out to win, but so is Atlantic City and the Miss America Organization. A brilliant read. Did I say I loved it?
