Really loved the character development of this one and the way it talked about identity and how that change as well as how family reacts and adjusts when a child is queer.

It was an extremely nice book. I stayed awake until nearly 2am to finish this book. I just kinda love the character development and now the “chase” evolves in so many different ways. Furthermore I like that you kinda are able to tell some little things from the beginning that you stop believing in during the book but turne out to be right at the end. The book just feels so lovable and I just love the plot of you deserve love even if you don’t think you do. All in all I just really liked this book

"It's easier to accept hurt and pain, sometimes, than love and acceptance."

I've been meaning to read Felix Ever After for quite some time now... When I needed a banned book for the POPSUGAR challenge, I decided to give in and finally read it. I know that I don't read a lot of YA anymore, but I would recommend this book for both teenagers and adults alike. The topic is such an important one, and it's an own voices story at that; there is no doubt that Felix Ever After has a big impact, and it really is an eye-opener. That said, I do have to say that there were certain aspects about the main character Felix that I didn't like as much. I get his struggles and they are both portrayed realistically and basically heartbreaking. BUT. He is also pretty selfish and vindictive, and the fact that others are hurting him is no excuse to do the same. I can't say that I was a fan of the whole love triangle vibe either, which kind of put a damper on things for me... In fact, I wasn't really a fan of the romance nor how it was developed and incorporated in general. I'm still giving this story four stars though just for its impact and how it can help people discover their identity and tribe.

I loved Ezra from the first minute and I wanted to punch Felix a little bit for most of the book. But the story grew on me and I ended up really liking it's. Now I'm just sad there's not too much Fanart available.
