Pretty Ugly by Kirker Butler

In a satirical exploration of the beauty pageant world, the story follows Miranda Miller, a fiercely ambitious mother determined to secure her daughter, Bailey, the crown of Little Miss Perfect. As Miranda pushes Bailey to the limits, the narrative delves into the absurdities and pressures of pageant life, revealing the lengths to which parents will go to achieve their dreams through their children. The tale is a darkly comedic reflection on societal obsessions with beauty, success, and the often blurred lines between parental love and personal ambition.
