A review by bbensonn
Puddin' by Julie Murphy

5.0

Quite frankly, I’m surprised by how much I liked this book. When I started, I had just gotten off reading some serious books so I wasn’t really adjusted to the whole high school drama genre and what not, but this captured “coming of age” so perfectly. And cutely. The character development is steady and thorough. I really didn’t think I was going to like either of the main characters at first, but the way that their relationship is built makes them grow on you. The plot was fairly simple, but like I said, the character development made the story as a whole rich and full of good morals, themes, and life lessons. I can’t wait to see what Julie Murphy has next for readers.
