69. Little Beauties

This was a really quick read. And a quirky read as well. Told from three perspectives - a woman with OCD, a teenager who is about to have, then has a baby and the unborn child, then infant. Who is the reincarnated wife of the stranger who helps deliver the baby in the back of his car.

Yeah.

But despite being a pretty bizarre story, in the end, I liked it.

Here's the description from B&N.com:

Diana McBride, a thirty-four-year-old former child pageant contender, now works in a baby store in Long Beach. Between dealing with a catastrophic haircut, the failure of her marriage, and phone calls from her alcoholic mother, Diana has gone off her OCD medication and is trying to cope via washing and cleaning rituals. When pregnant teenager Jamie Ramirez enters the store, Diana's already chaotic world is sent spinning.

Jamie can't stand being pregnant. She can't wait to get on with her normal life and give the baby up for adoption. But her yet-to-be-born daughter, Stella, has a fierce will and a destiny to fulfill. And as the magical plot of Little Beauties unfolds, these three characters' lives become linked in ever more surprising ways.
