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.
