Synopsis

Jaine has been hired by uber-pushy stage mom Heather Van Sant to write lyrics for her daughter Taylor's song in the talent competition for the Miss Teen Queen America pageant. It's different from anything Jaine has done before, but if nothing else, she's looking forward to a free weekend in a swanky hotel and a chance to see what really goes on backstage at a beauty pageant. But the hotel is a dump, the cattiness is out of control, an Candace-the perfectly-coiffed, whip-cracking pageant director-is making even Jaine's life miserable. When Candace's assistant Amy is found bludgeoned to death with a silver tiara, there are more suspects than sequins on a pageant gown-and Heather is first on the list.

Goodreads review by Rachel on August 03, 2015

I've read one of the previous books in the Jaine Austen series, "Last Writes." While it was nothing groundbreaking, it was a quick, fun little read. When I saw this new book at my local library, I was intrigued. Watching beauty pageants (Miss Mississippi and Miss America every year) is one of my gui......more

I read a study which said that reading at least 6 minutes in bed, before going to sleep, cuts down stress by 68%, but only if the book is very enjoyable to you.

So funny! I love these books, they are so funny. Jaine cracks me up with the situations she finds herself in and she’s so real and relatable.
