rebeisstrange 's review for:

Dumplin' by Julie Murphy
3.0

This book made me feel bipolar!

“WOULD IT HURT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT NOT EVERYONE HAD SHITTY INTENTIONS?”

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪ ᴅɪᴅ ʟɪᴋᴇ:

Will’s character development. I didn’t like her in the beginning of the book at all. I couldn’t stand her. Towards the middle I was beginning to warm up to Will. At the end I fell in love.

Millie and Elle are the only reasons I held on. These two gals were my pals til the end. They made me smile every time the even breathed.

The ending was my favorite part! I loved the way this book ended on and I really enjoyed the friendship at the end. It was one of my favorite things I’ve ever read.




ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪ ᴅɪᴅɴᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ:

Like I said in the beginning, Will at the start of the book. I didn’t like how selfish she was. Her excuse was always, “I’m fat.” And no, being overweight is not a bad thing and I am not trying to bash you. The thing is, you shouldn’t use that as an excuse for your actions.


IT TOOK SO DAMN LONG TO GET TO THE ACTUAL PLOT OF THIS BOOK. I REPEAT, IT TOOK SO DAMN LONG TO GET TO THE ACTUAL PLOT OF THIS BOOK.

Bo made me gag. He was supposed to be seen as the ‘hot, sporty, and kind country boy that could make you swoon even when you’re six feet underground’. I didn’t see him like that. I cringed at everything he did. I cringed harder than ever.

OVERALL RATING: 3
