lindsaynixon 's review for:
Dumplin'
by Julie Murphy
This was cute and sweet and body positive. I’d love to see more books, especially YA, with these healthy attitudes.
I did find the book was a little “soft” in that it skirted around and glazed over some larger issues it was addressing, but that lack of depth is also what kept the story southern sweet. Highly recommend!
Loss of a star because it seemed to end abruptly. There was a long, slow but steady build with and ending that felt too quick and incomplete. (I wanted a Hollywood grande finale from teen movies — not that I need that but the whole book felt like like those Teen movies... it simmered and simmered until the fire went out with an unceremonious puff of smoke).
