Dear Sweet Pea by Julie Murphy

4.0

First of all, I'd like to start of by saying I want to be Ms. Flora Mae when I grow up.
I don't normally enjoy middle grade books, they often lack heart and substance. I enjoyed this one. It's exactly what I'd expect from Julie Murphy, heartwarming and cutesy.
This is marked as Dumplin' 2.5 and although it connects to the rest of the series *very* briefly, it's more about the feel of the book. Set in Texas, not too far from Clover City, this book touches on a lot of the same themes as the rest of the Dumplin' series; friendships, family, queer folks and generally finding who you are.
