Puddin' by Julie Murphy
4.0
This book was a quick, easy read that was so lighthearted and cute. I was able to read this book, and relax, and not feel like I was being weighed down with sadness or introspection. It was the perfect thing to read after a book like ‘The Diary of a Young Girl’.
I love Millie’s character. I loved her in ‘Dumplin’, and I’m so glad that we get to see more of her in ‘Puddin’. I like how we get to see a little more complexity to her as we get an inside look at her thoughts. She is such a strong character, that has had to deal with years of stares, whispers, judgements, and nasty comments. In spite of this, she still remains so positive, and is determined to try to change the way people think about and see fat people. I love her spunk and energy.
I ended up liking Callie in the end, but it took me so long to come around. It took about half of the book, before Callie started to realize that she can act differently than she always has by just choosing to be a better person. And even with this change, I still didn’t completely warm up to her. She took much longer to grow on me which is my main reason for the four star rating. She infuriated me to no end for the longest time, but she did change for the better thoughtout the book, and had an amazing character arc, which I am a sucker for.
I definitely recommend this book as a good palate cleanser between a heavier book, or just to branch out of your typical genre if you need a break.
