Dear Sweet Pea by Julie Murphy
4.0
ARC provided by the publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
This book was so sweet and played out like a Family Channel movie in my head. I've never been a fan of middle-grade books but I decided to read this one because I love Julie Murphy. It was pretty damn good! There were a few parts where I found it a bit predictable, but it is probably because I'm an adult lol. And I also was not expecting it to tackle LGBT issues but it did!! It was a pleasant surprise. It also did a great job at tackling fatphobia and showed how Sweet Pea could be flawed and not such a nice person, but still an inspiring individual. I think a lot of people around this age group will be able to relate really well to the characters and the concept of growing up and figuring out changes. Really cute!!
