"Puddin'" by Julie Murphy is a delightful read that resonates deeply with the emotional and insecure experiences of its protagonists, Callie and Millie. Their struggles and growth are portrayed with remarkable authenticity, making them incredibly relatable. This book is not only a quick and enjoyable read but also a valuable resource for middle and high school girls. It offers comfort and understanding, something I wish had been available during my own school years. The accessibility of such literature for young girls is a significant step towards helping them navigate their formative years with confidence and self-acceptance.
