The lives of three characters -- an obsessive-compulsive, a pregnant teenager, and the teen's unborn child -- come together in National Book Award finalist and Pushcart Prize winner Kim Addonizio's unsparingly funny and transcendent debut novel. 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. With a poet's ear for fresh, evocative language and a deft humor that exposes her characters' foibles, Addonizio perfectly captures the messiness and unexpected beauty of life.Binding Type: Paperback

LOVE these. Good quality, thick material, flattering fit. I wish they came in more colors, I bought all the colors they offered in my size. I am really impressed with Amazon Essentials clothing.

Little big
Size: 20, Color: Rinse Wash
They run just a tiny bit big. The length is more ankle length instead of capri length as shown. However, I liked the wash and the length doesn't bother me. Perfect match to the essentials jacket.

good stretch
Size: 10 Long, Color: Dark Wash
Honestly, these are one of those surprisingly good basics—especially for the price.
The biggest standout is the stretch. They’re really comfortable and move with you, so they don’t have that stiff “jeans” feeling. They hug your body in a flattering way without feeling too tight or restrictive, which makes them easy to wear all day.
The mid-rise fit is also a sweet spot—not too low, not too high—so they’re super versatile with different tops.
What I liked:
Very stretchy and comfortable (almost feels like jeggings, but still looks like denim)
Flattering skinny fit through the legs
Easy everyday jeans—work, errands, going out
Great value for the price
What to know:
Material is on the thinner side (more comfort than “structured denim”)
They can lose shape slightly after a full day of wear
Not the most durable long-term compared to higher-end denim
Final thoughts:
These are perfect if you want cute, comfortable, affordable jeans you can throw on with anything. Not premium denim, but for everyday wear—they definitely get the job done and are worth having in your rotation.
