Review
An original book by a young girl in the current scenario of plagiarism and packaging novels is creditable... For the first time, a Could-have-been Beauty Queen , Ira Trivedi, a beauty pageant participant, pens a bare-all account of the process from application to the commonplace final question asked of the five finalists, that is the title of her book, What Would You Do to Save the World? --Times Of India (Madras Plus)
It is an interesting story, narrated by a beauty pageant participant as she exposes all dirt the behind the glitter ... But it is a story about a little girl s fairytale of being crowned Miss Indian Beauty , her chase for the title, the dream shattering and a few lessons learnt. Every girl can identify with this story in most ways. And if you re into glamour, drama and just plain girlie gossip, you ll like reading this. --Cybernoon
An entertaining first novel which reveals the dust behind the diamonds, the tears behind the plastic smiles, and dishes the dirt on what really goes on behind the scenes of a beauty pageant. --Deccan Herald
