Did you watch the movie Dumplin' on Netflix or plan on watching it when it's out on DVD?

The Hate U Give
By Angie Thomas
This book is the real deal. Not only is it the best YA book I have read this year, it is the best book I have read this year period. It got me from the very first page, and never let me go. If you read any book this year, let it be this one.
