Every now and then, I read something that takes me right back to my past--in this case, something about Puddin (and more so than in Dumplin' the first novel in this world) took me right back to high school. But in a good way. This book is all about friendship--finding new friends, life changing with the old ones, and just figuring out who you are and who you want to be. I really, really liked Dumplin', but I LOVED Puddin'.

Highly, highly recommended.
