Review of "Dumplin'" on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I loved this book! There's not going to be much in the line of analysis in this review. It's a well written book that flows and has a great story. I wish this book had been available when I was a teen. Despite being a teen more than 20 years before this was written, it has a lot of relatability.

My only complaint about this book is that sometimes the characters seem a bit more grown up than high school in their self-analysis and the crap they are willing to take from their peers.
