Beauty Queens Chapter 4

By Libba Bray

Chapter 4

Mary Lou tells Adina that she didn't win Leader because wasn't modest enough when she talked about her accomplishments. What about being proud of what you got?
Adina makes fun of Mary Lou's purity ring, and Mary Lou mumbles, "some girls need protection." (4.21) Um, okay.
The girls make a fire and go to sleep, except for Adina, who has first watch.
At the end of the chapter is Adina's pageant questionnaire. It says that her mother is on her fifth stepfather, Adina's anti-misogyny, and she secretly intends to take down the pageant.
