But seriously, move aside world because we need more Millies. Her mother doesn’t truly accept her, high school teens are pretty rude, and the world isn’t ready for her in some ways. Even at her worst she’s still better than me on some days at my best! She is upbeat, determined, and also struggling with really intense hurdles. So while, even today, I want to be more like Millie, in my heart I resonated with Callie because that’s the emotional and mental state I was in.īut you cannot help but love Millie. If I were a YA novel I would be a lot like Callie – I had my priorities shifted around, my high school life revolved around a guy, and I was unsure of what my dreams should be really. Not only is Millie entirely endearing, ambitious, and driven, but Callie is the inner character in all of us. Murphy does a phenomenal job with characters in general, but I think Puddin’ is really where Murphy shines. And in Puddin’ it was no different – except way more. Millie caught my eye first in Dumplin ‘ – the way she strode onto the stage, the way she was so confident in herself. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this free book from Edelweiss. When circumstances bring the girls together over the course of a semester, they will surprise everyone (especially themselves) by realizing they might have more in common than they ever imagined.
But when it comes to other girls, she’s more frenemy than friend.
Callie Reyes is the pretty girl who is next in line for dance team captain and has the popular boyfriend. This year she has new plans to chase her secret dream-and to kiss her crush. Millie Michalchuk has gone to fat camp every year since she was a girl.
But if you want to full experience, be sure to read both – well you need to read both for sure. While Puddin’ is a companion novel to Dumplin’ you can definitely read it without having read Puddin’. Puddin’ was touching, endearing, and should be a must read for everyone – teen and adult alike.
