Goodreads Summary:
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 twiggy girl does. Along the way, she’ll shock the hell out of Clover City—and maybe herself most of all.
With starry Texas nights, red candy suckers, Dolly Parton songs, and a wildly unforgettable heroine— Dumplin’ is guaranteed to steal your heart.

Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
LOL I know you're a fantasy girl through and through, right?! ;)
DeleteI have to read this soon because I have the eARC and the pub date is looming. For some reason I had this on my NotePad app as releasing in early October! Then I saw it in a September release collage on a blog and went, whoops. I am waiting for Of Delicate Pieces, the sequel to Of Breakable Things. It comes out in October. :)
ReplyDeleteIt actually happened to me too but not with this book. I guess we gotta pay more attention to dates? Hehe~ I've not heard of Of Breakable Things, I'll have to check it out now!
DeleteJust read Faye's review at The Social Potato and I want to read this!

DeleteI feel like I'm the only one not on the Dumplin' boat! I'm going to need to check this one out once it comes out.
ReplyDeleteYou're the second one that I know of now but I'm glad you want to try it :D
DeleteI've heard some really stellar reviews for this one from some of my bloggy friends, so I know I must get it and soon!
