If It Makes You Happy by Claire Kann

I have such mixed feelings about this book. I DNFd multiple times but kept coming back to it months later because I really really wanted to like it. And tbh there is a lot to like! I've never read a book that offered what this one does and I'm glad it exists. I think my problem was the pacing - there's so much happening at once, and yet I felt like a lot is implied rather than explicit, so it feels simultaneously like nothing is happening. Maybe I'm not emotionally intelligent enough to appreciate this book! I expect I'll be thinking about it for a while, maybe time and a reread will teach me more.
