If It Makes You Happy by Claire Kann

5.0

HOW HAVE I NOT REVIEWED THIS? It was my favorite January read, and I loved Winnie so much. I loved her attitude about her fatness and how she refused to let anyone talk down to her about it, I loved how the book showed that some relationships, whether familial or platonic or romantic, just don't work and it's okay to stand up for yourself when your elders are being shitty. I didn't like Winnie's cousin at all and I kept wanting to slap her, but I loved everyone else. There's a queer platonic relationship, which I was SO excited to see, and ugh god okay just read this book because it's fun and funny and heart-warming but also hits some serious notes and has great rep.
