If You Like Julie Murphy Books, You’ll Love…
Dumplin’ is the first book in the series of the same name. This book follows Willowdean Dixon, an unforgettable heroine, as she takes on her hometown’s beauty pageant. A self-proclaimed fat girl, she isn’t the typical beauty pageant type. When she meets Bo, a cute former jock from a private school, she is instantly attracted and surprised to find he likes her back. Feeling unsure of herself, she sets out to challenge herself in the toughest way imaginable: by entering the local beauty pageant. Willowdean will attempt to show the world that she belongs up there.
Another great book by Murphy is the standalone novel, Side Effects May Vary. Alice is a sixteen year-old girl who has been diagnosed with cancer. Instead of feeling sorry for herself, she starts a war. She creates a no-holds barred bucket list that really sets things off at school as she attempts to settle old scores. All is going well until she finds out that she is in remission. Good news, but not something she thought she would have to deal with as she’ll be forced to face all of those with whom she stirred things up with her bucket list.
