Pumpkin by Julie Murphy
5.0
I love all of Julie Murphy's other books so when I heard she was writing a book about a fat gay teen I knew I had to read it! Boy oh boy am I glad I did! I loved so much about this book i am not sure I can even mention all of it but I will try.
First off I loved being back in Clover City and getting to revisit some of Murphy's other characters like Hannah and Millie and Willowdean. I also really loved that Hannah was such a big part of this story! She was one of my favorite characters from Dumplin and getting to revisit her and see her happy makes my little lesbian heart sing!
Speaking of lesbians I would be remissed if I didn't mention Clem, a ginger after my own heart truly! She is everything I wish I was in high-school! I loved every second I got to read about her. She was just so sweet but strong willed and confident. She obviously felt and loved so fearsly. I honestly just adored her and she was the highlight of this book for me.
And then there is Wayland. Who wouldn't love Wayland? I wanted to be his best friend and protect him at all cost. He was just so perfect and so much fun. I loved following his journey throughout this book. He was amazing.
This whole book was just an absolute delight! I knew I would like this book but I had no idea I would like it this much! I definitely can not wait to get myself a physical copy and then endlessly recommend this book to everyone I know!
