Now a popular Netflix feature film, starring Jennifer Aniston, Danielle Macdonald, and Dove Cameron, as well as a soundtrack from Dolly Parton! The #1 New York Times bestseller and feel-good YA of the year - about Willowdean Dixon, the fearless, funny, and totally unforgettable heroine who takes on her small town's beauty pageant. Self-proclaimed fat girl Willowdean Dickson (dubbed "Dumplin'" by her former beauty queen mom) has always been at home in her own skin. Her thoughts on having the ultimate bikini body? Put a bikini on your body. With her all-American beauty best friend, Ellen, by her side, things have always worked... until Will takes a job at Harpy's, the local fast-food joint. There she meets Private School Bo, a hot former jock. Will isn't surprised to find herself attracted to Bo. But she is surprised when he seems to like her back. Instead of finding new heights of self-assurance in her relationship with Bo, Will starts to doubt herself. So she sets out to take back her confidence by doing the most horrifying thing she can imagine- entering the Miss Clover City beauty pageant - along with several other unlikely candidates - to show the world that she deserves to be up there as much as any girl does. Along the way, she'll shock the hell out of Clover City - and maybe herself most of all.

Dumplin' Review

I've watched the Netflix movie for this a million times because Jennifer Aniston plays the mom, Rosie Dickson, to main character Willowdean. Willowdean, a.k.a Dumplin' (her mom's nickname for her), is a high school student who deals with the normal things like crushing on boys... and her mom being a former beauty queen who still runs the town's pageant. While the book takes place over a longer period of time than the movie, the premise is still the same. Willowdean, an overweight teenager, decides that she is going to enter the Miss Clover City pageant with her friend Ellen and a few other misfits. This story is a classic plot of growth in your teenage years and figuring things out. It was refreshing to see this kind of story through Willowdean's eyes.

Better Than the Movie

I bought this book because I loved the movie that came after it was released. The book was quite different from the movie, which I was expecting, but it just added so much more to something I loved. The book was amazing.
