I really liked this book! It is written from three different perspectives which makes it very interesting. When I read the first chapter from the unborn child's perspective it was so sweet and unexpected I wanted to cry!

Little Beauties is told from the perspective of three characters. The first is Diana. Diana is a mid-thirty year old who was recently seperated (not by her choice)from her husband. Diana's OCD controls her life. Jamie is the pregnant teenager who is unhappy about her current situation. Diana and Jamie cross paths and eventually their lives become involved. The third perspective is Stella, Jamie's unborn baby.

The book is a quick read

This book sucked me right in! It tells the story through the 3 main characters, but does so in a way that you can understand. Each character adds their own specific pov to the overall story.
I recommend this one. It is not deep, but it is. An easy read that makes you think.
