A review by burstnwithbooks
Dumplin' by Julie Murphy

4.0

I loved this! I thought that Willowdean's perspective was very real and I loved how brutally honest she was about everything. I loved her relationship with her best friend, all of the things about her job, relationships with her mom, aunt, boss, sorta boyfriend, you get the picture. I guess I just really appreciated Willowdean as a character. She was very real to me and I really felt for her along every step of the way. And the whole beauty queen plot was genius. I loved that group of girls and there were some genuine laugh-out-loud moments for me in this book. I LOVE THEM ALL OKAY. Fantastic.
