If It Makes You Happy by Claire Kann

5.0

This book was such a joy to read! A hilarious and witty, fat black queer girl who tells it like it is - this feels like what's been missing from my bookshelf for years. I'm so happy to see a queer-platonic relationship portrayed in a way where the characters don't constantly feel the need to explain how their relationship works, I think a lot of LGBTQ readers will find that validating. I also really appreciate that the manipulative relationship in Winnie's life didn't have a perfect ending or solution, that sometimes you just have to do what's right for you. It's just an all round easy to get into book and the narration by Caroline Sorunke was perfect.
