If It Makes You Happy by Claire Kann

3.0

There is a lot going on here, but nothing felt wrapped up at the end, or super-well developed. I wanted more of the grandmother's back story (& Winnie's family in general). Winnie is a true people-pleaser, and this personality aspect is well-portrayed, even if I ended up feeling like Kara walked all over Winnie even though they had an agreement about W dating other people. I did love that Winnie is secure in her body, and tries to get the adults in her life to understand what it means to be fat & healthy and to stop fat-shaming her!
