If It Makes You Happy
by Claire Kann
I didn't realize until the interview at the end of the book that this author is also the author of another book of her's that I gave a 2-star for. Unfortunate!
Before I knew that, I said if a book was a whiplash of chaos as a reading experience, this book would take the cake.
I was so confused a good chunk of the book. I think I found several continuity mistakes, and I didn't feel gripped or taken by any of the characters, aaaand I felt like some of the characters' habits and behaviors didn't fit? With what I'd expect them to do?
Like the parents are sooooo supportive but they aren't? Granny's on and off reactions giving a listening ear, then taking talk back then not...
And the names for the group messages kept throwing me... We're already being thrown into a queer platonic relationship with polyamory (correct me if I'm wrong with the wording), but adding "ungirlfriend" made it SO confusing throughout the story.
And there was NO. CLIMAX. to the other romance part of the book! A kiss happens and it's literally a passive like, 3-word sentence.
There's SO much going on, I wish only like two things were focused on... I got so sick of the county king and queen activities...
The characters and everything just fell flat and were so shallow and the new words for people and relationships and everything made everything so much more confusing and inconsistent...
It made me finally jump in and begin writing my own book, this one made me so disappointed as a reading experience.
