I loved this book so, so much.
you could tell that the author knew what they were talking about, and it felt like it was really coming from the heart.
lots of times i was saying “wow, this perfectly describes how i feel about my gender” and i think many people can agree
anyways, without the personal stuff, still loved the sorry and the fun little plot twists.
one negative thing, i despise love triangles
tw: transphobia, targeted harassment
as a mari i don't claim the mari in this book, we are TERF free over here
more thoughts to come
4/5 stars
This book was so sweet and cute but also a mess just like every teenager ever and I loved it.
TW: transphobia, being outed, cyberbullying, blackmail
As someone who is apart of the transgender community I can't begin to express how important this representation is in media like this. There needs to be more stories like this.
Felix's character and the struggles that he went through this book made me quickly become attached to him. It's so refreshing to see trans issues being represented in correct and non harmful ways.
It's so refreshing to see characters that are so diverse and real. There was a character that every reader could see themselves in.
“You don't get to use my pain to make your point.”
I think this is something that needs to be highlighted and more importantly be said.
The MCU and stucky being mentioned in this somehow just made this ten times better for me.
This made me feel so hopeful for the future. This is an absolute comfort read.
i read this in one evening, couldnt put down the book for more than 10 minutes
its so good !!!
What a great book about some very prescient issues we are facing right now.
Felix is figuring out his identity and along the way he has to navigate so many road blocks to finding love of himself and love of someone else.
I loved how quickly you are dropped into the action of this book. You get to know the characters instantly and there's no hand wringing about how it introduce the supporting cast. It's a fully explored and vibrant world of these teenage artists.
I also really loved the conversations about art and how it's important to them and they want to create something meaningful and interesting while balancing their own personal interests.
These characters are intensely worried about their future while also trying to live and love in the now. This is a book I wish I had as a teenager.
So many wonderful characters and a mystery at the center that's engaging and interesting. I love a coming of age novel and a queer novel. I hope trans kids can read this and find themselves in Felix.
Wow ein so tolles und wichtiges Buch – ich liebe Felix und die anderen Protagonisten. Dieses Buch hat mich emotional mitgenommen und an einigen Stelle auch sehr wütend gemacht. Es war eine Achterbahnfahrt und einfach nur toll. Die Entwicklung von Felix und das finde zu sich selbst ist wunderbar beschreiben und lässt ihn noch mehr in mein Herz
Bin sehr traurig das es vorbei ist
What a wonderful story about figuring out who you are. I smiled, I laughed, I cried. Such a powerful book for our time. I absolutely adored this book and would recommend everyone read this book. I can't wait to read more from this author.
Read this in one sitting also audiobook and physical so both loved it sooo much.....might read more of this author sooo favorite book of the month ik that for sure
This book brought me back to high school again. The teenage drama was almost too well done. Wonderfully written book on one persons struggles as he navigates living in a world as a black transgender. The inner turmoil with the main characters gender identity even after starting the transition was a good addition to drive home the fact that so many people struggle tor longer than one mat expect
3.5
Decided to round down the rating after thinking about it for a bit. Strongly disliked the love story here for some reason. Everything else was very wholesome.
i actually related to this book so much. i love the way it talked about gender identity, sexual orientation, and racism. i think it really showed how some queer people can still be homophobic to others in the community and that is something that needs more awareness. white cis gay men spitting on the whole fucking community for what ??? i also loved the way felix discovered love and different types of love. this book was just so educative and so beautiful and ezra is my new comfort character
“For trans and nonbinary youth. You're beautiful. You're important. You're valid. You're perfect.” I knew I was going to love Felix Ever After by the dedication alone.
I don't read a lot of character-driven narratives but this was a good one. Felix questioning his identity really struck a cord with me– his internal dilemmas and anxieties on how he should feel, his pain and who he is felt real.
I was so happy that he was able to embrace love and himself in the end.
It was sad. It was funny. It was hopeful.
