A lovely book with very likable and diverse characters. “A sweet and beautiful journey about self-discovery and identity!. Praise for Let’s Talk About Love from the Swoon Reads community: Asexual readers will appreciate the visibility, and those-like Alice’s ex-who know poorly understand it, will gain a better sense of what love without sex can look like." - Publishers Weekly
"Debut novelist Kann thoughtfully tackles what it means to be asexual and gives Alice a platform to discover who she is and what it means for her relationship with Takumi. A light, enjoyable asexual romance with outstanding representation. "Alice is black, biromantic, and asexual, and her relationship with Takumi is genuine and fun. Stripped of Goldeen’s protective bubble, to salvage her summer Winnie must conquer her fears, defy expectations, and be the best Winnie she knows she can be-regardless of what anyone else thinks of her. Almost immediately, she discovers that she’s deathly afraid of it all: the spotlight, the obligations, and the way her Merry Haven Summer King, wears his heart, humor, and honesty on his sleeve. Newly crowned, Winnie is forced to take center stage in photoshoots and a never-ending list of community royal engagements.
…until she becomes Misty Haven’s Summer Queen in a highly anticipated matchmaking tradition that she wants absolutely nothing to do with. With her family and ungirlfriend at her side, she has everything she needs for one last perfect summer before starting college in the fall. While there, she works in her fabulous 50’s inspired uniform, twirling around the diner floor and earning an obscene amount of tips. No, not Disneyland-her Granny’s diner, Goldeen’s, in the small town of Misty Haven. Winnie is living her best fat girl life and is on her way to the best place on earth.
Claire Kann's If It Makes You Happy is a coming-of-age novel about a young girl learning to embrace her cultural and sexuality identity.
