If It Makes You Happy by Claire Kann
3.0

This was cute!
I think it has a lot of important reps and themes, and that it'll be important to a lot of different teens that don't usually see themselves in stories (fat Black girls, polyam teens, aro teens etc.) but I am outgrowing contemporary YA a little bit I think. I still really enjoy reading them and can recognize the value of these books and want to have them in my classroom but they're often not as impactful to me specifically as they used to be. (Also beware the HP references, this was published a while back so they're still there)
