Dumplin' by Julie Murphy
Dumplin's real name is Willowdean. Her mother is a former beauty queen who can't seem to accept her daughter's size. Willowdean has a best friend who is practically perfect, and Will feels like she is being left behind.
One day, Will decides to sign up for the local beauty pageant. Her mother is against it, but Will wants to show that anyone can be a beauty queen. So, she enlists some drag queens to help her.
Along the way, she attracts the attention of two boys, loses and regains her best friend, and learns to value herself for who she is. Loved this.
