If It Makes You Happy by Claire Kann
4.0
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a free e-Audiobook copy of this book. My opinions are my own and are unbiased.
I really enjoyed this one! I read "Let's Talk About Love" earlier in the year by the same author, and wanted to pick up another book by the author. I've been reading less YA Contemporary recently as I'm getting a bit further away from being a teenager myself, but I really wanted to try this one.
This book has a queer, fat main character called Winnie who works in her Grandmother's diner during the summer before she goes to college. The book details the different things that she goes through, and her relationships. I would recommend this to someone who is looking for a queer YA contemporary, with hard hitting themes as well as some very cute moments. I'd also really recommend the audiobook. The narrator did an excellent job of portraying the story.
I would check trigger warnings though, as there is some fat shaming, and difficult relationships with family members, so take care.
