Review of Puddin'

By Julie Murphy

In this refreshing companion to 'Dumplin'', female friendships and body-positivity take center stage. The book follows Millie Michalchuk, a fat girl confident in her own skin and with dreams of becoming a broadcast journalist, and Callie Reyes, a half-Mexican 'popular' girl kicked off the dance team for committing a crime. The two become unlikely friends and learn to find the good things among the bad in their small Texas city.
