julesnymoo 's review for:
Dumplin'
by Julie Murphy
Okay, so I finally finished a book in a while in midst of me being busy in college. I began this book thinking, oh I like this book. Maybe 4 stars, or even five if I loved it in the end. But after one thing and other, I decided this was obviously a good book, but not the best or at least one of my favorites. The first half of it was amazing.
A fat girl. A beauty princess competition. This tells a story of Willowdean ‘Dumplin’ Dickson who is a fat girl. She fell for a boy but had no confidence in herself. So what to do next? Of course, she joined the competition to prove herself and Lucy who were her aunt and someone she relate to compared to her mother. She fell for a boy named Bo.
But... halfway through the story, she had this fling thing with someone else named Mitch. He was a big guy, a kind kid who’s a little awkward sometimes. In other word, Mitch is something sort of like me. I saw myself in him. I didn’t root for Bo. He was flat out character with (oh-my-god-smile) and a red sucker in his mouth all the time. Mitch has this terrific character development that made me like him even more.
Dumplin secretly still likes Bo and wanted to be with him... But she kept this thing going on? Then all of a sudden, she told him she liked Bo and not him. Then Mitch was out of the book for the rest of the story just like that. With that, I was disappointed but the overall story was cute so I give this one a three.
In the end, I believe that Mitch deserved better.
