Wally Lamb

Meet Dolores Price. She's thirteen, wise-mouthed but wounded. Beached like a whale in front of her bedroom TV, she spends the next few years nourishing herself with the chocolate, crisps and Pepsi her anxious mother supplies. When she finally rolls into young womanhood at 257 pounds, Dolores is no stronger and life is no kinder. But this time she's determined to rise to the occasion and give herself one more chance before really going belly up. In his extraordinary coming-of-age odyssey, Wally Lamb invites us to hitch an incredible ride on a journey of love, pain, and renewal with the most heartbreakingly comical heroine to come along in years. At once a fragile girl and a hard-edged cynic, so tough to love yet so inimitably loveable, Dolores is as poignantly real as our own imperfections.

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reread"

Sher Free✌️

"I will say that it's written really well. I did not finish, however, because I for the life of me could not figure out what in the name of God the plot was. It just seems to be this weird girl's Life getting worse and worse...CW for antisemitism, grooming, SA. BUT, AGAIN, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PLOT WAS."

"All the comments talk about how good this is but I’ve struggled so much to get through it. I want to like it, but I cannot for the life of me get into it. Currently a DNF, but eventually will complete (begrudgingly, if necessary)"

"This is my favorite book. I think I have read it about 20 times. Each time, you pick up something new. The characters just draw you in."

"i bought this book at a yard sale, let it sit and collect dust on my table for months. i decided to finally pick it up and give it a try, and ended up finishing the book in three days. its a very emotional, heartbreaking, REAL (although fictional) story that ends with the reader feeling triumphant and content yet, sad and emotional for what the character goes through. very bittersweet. I won’t give anything away BUT a few TW: SA/r@pe, mental health, ED"
