Is it BIG enough? You can play as small a guitar as you want.

There are small people that comfortably play full size deadnaughts, and large people that play little parlor guitars and ukuleles.

Guitars come in many different shapes and sizes, and there is no one standard, so "3/4" doesn't mean any particular size...just that it's smaller then some other guitars that manufacturer makes. Some maker's "3/4" size guitars are the size of a standard classical guitar.
No matter what they call it, 3/4. OOO, parlor size, there are many variables. The scale length and the shape and thickness of the neck and the width and shape of the fret board all effect how comfortable your hand will be. The depth and shape of the various boughts of the body will determine how easy it is for you to hold.

NO one here can tell you how a guitar will fit you without seeing the guitar and you.

Visit a good guitar music store and try some different guitars. Have a knowledgable person show you how you have to hold it and YOU have to decide if it is comfortable for you.

Tnxs for the answer but I know how to hold a guitar. I've played th e guitar for four years now(Still crap at it). ;)
