Dumplin' Movie Review

 ....................................................................................................

I read Dumplin' in June of 2018, and honestly I just liked Millie and Bo, so I was interested to see those two. 

The main plot seemed to movie just a little too fast, I wanted there to be more of the girls getting ready and encouraging one another more.

I felt like Willowdean was just plain rude to Millie in some the scenes, especially how she said at the beginning, about how at least she wasn't clueless like Millie, who apparently didn't know she was fat. She judges others and then tells people to not judge her for being fat, it's kind of a double standard. She judges other girls for being skinny, when that is their choice, not all girls that are skinny are rude and they don't deserved to body shamed, that goes for all of the girls in this book.

Ellen and Willowdean's falling out only lasted a day, which if I remember correctly, it was a little longer in the book then just a day. Another reason they had that big argument was because Ellen and Callie had been hanging out more. Ellen had told secrets to Callie before she even told Willowdean.  

As much as I enjoyed the movie, I was really disappointed at the lack of Bo and Willowdean together as a couple in the movie. In the book, they were together a lot more then just every few chapters/scenes.

Overall, it was a disappointing movie, fun but it didn't do a very good job as handling the serious conversations and situations.

Books I've Judged by Their Covers

Charlotte Holmes Series by Brittany Cavallaro This series was on display at my library and I picked up the first book, not only is the cover beautiful but the books are intriguing, have interesting characters and mysteries. .................................................................................................................................................... The Sun is Also a Star and Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon These books are gorgeous and as soon as I finished reading them, I immediately wanted copies for myself, if even only to display. I loved both books, they were such interesting takes on contemporary. .................................................................................................................................................... To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo This cover is to die for, the color of the background is gorgeous. I really enjoyed the book, I didn't know, but it was a modern retell...

Now Entering Addamsville by Francesca Zappia ARC Review

Now Entering Addamville by Francesca Zappia ★★ ★ Zora Novak has been framed. When someone burns down the home of the school janitor and he dies in the blaze, everyone in Addamsville, Indiana, points a finger at Zora. Never mind that Zora has been on the straight and narrow since her father was thrown in jail. With everyone looking for evidence against her, her only choice is to uncover the identity of the real killer. There’s one big problem—Zora has no leads. No one does. Addamsville has a history of tragedy, and thirty years ago a similar string of fires left several townspeople dead. The arsonist was never caught. Now, Zora must team up with her cousin Artemis—an annoying self-proclaimed Addamsville historian—to clear her name. But with a popular ghost-hunting television show riling up the townspeople, almost no support from her family and friends, and rumors spinning out of control, things aren’t looking good. Zora will have to read between the lines of Addamsville’s...
