A review by jenbwright
Dumplin' by Julie Murphy

5.0

Being the resident fat kid, not coming into her own skill until later in life, I kind of envy Willowdean I’m having the foresight to come into her own at such a young age. I feel like it’s a little unrealistic that she ended up with the hot basketball player, but she ended up with him for all of the right reasons-something most teenagers can’t see, so good for Bo. This is a great book for anyone struggling with self esteem and my favorite quote in the book says something like ‘You have a body. Put a swimsuit on it.’
