Originally coming from the Breaking The Spine blog, Waiting on Wednesday allows me to talk about a book I just can’t wait to get my hands on. Let’s get started !
Don’t forget to tell me about the book you’re eager to read, this week, in comments!
Expected publication : September 15th 2015
Publisher : Balzer + Bray
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.
First of all, I have to thanks Ashley for making me discover this book in her latest Top Ten Tuesday list ! 🙂 What appeals to me the most in this synopsis, is how it’s a story about a fat girl who owns her body…and then questions herself once she sees that someone likes her. I can’t wait to see how this story turns out!
Would you like to read Dumplin’ ? Why, or why not? Share your thoughts in comments! 🙂

This book looks great! I keep seeing this cover around, but I hadn’t read the synopsis. It seems like such a sweet but fun book. I totally want to read this book now!

I don’t read a whole lot of contemporary so I wouldn’t likely have found this one on my own, but it sounds like a fun read- sort-of heartwarming. And sometimes that just hits the spot. I’ll keep it in mind!

I love the sound of this!
