Little Beauties: A Novel by Kim Addonizio
2.0
This was a quick read that was just ok.
Little Beauties tells the story of Diana, a pageant contestant until her teen years who suffers from OCD, Jamie, a depressed pregnant teenager, and Stella, Jamie's baby. It was a quick-paced story in the beginning with the chapters bouncing back and forth between Diana, Jamie, and Stella's POV. They were likeable enough, but ultimately felt flat to me. I honestly liked Stella's POV quite a bit, until she started commingling with another character that I just wasn't buying. I wasn't a huge fan of the ending either; it felt like the end of just another chapter, but that was it for the book.
I didn't hate, but can't really recommend it either. Meh.
