Millie Michalchuk has gone to fat camp every year since she was a little girl. Not this year. This year she has new plans to chase her secret dream of being a newscaster and to kiss the boy she s crushing on. Callie Reyes is the pretty girl who is next in line for dance team captain and has the popular boyfriend. But when it comes to other girls, she s more frenemy than friend. When circumstances bring the girls together over the course of a semester, they surprise everyone (especially themselves) by realizing that they might have more in common than they ever imagined.

Review of "Puddin'" on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I wanted to read this book right after Dumplin' just because I loved Dumplin' so much. Unfortunately, other obligations meant this took longer than I'd hoped. This book took longer to get into than Dumplin' and really enjoy. Callie is really hard to take for about 2/3 of the book. That's the point, but that doesn't make it easier to read. I also felt like things that were very generally described in Dumplin' were made explicit here that sort of contradicted earlier descriptions.

Overall, though, I really enjoyed this book. It's a great follow-up to Dumplin'.
