A wonderful coming-of-age dealing with real, important topics like finding yourself and your identity, the intricate layers of blossoming queer identities, standing up to discrimination, the importance of love, acceptance, and friendship, and more. The growth of the characters is a journey that takes you along with it.

Well this was a rollercoaster, wasn’t it? A unique and thoughtful story about what it means to grow up and come into your own. The character of Felix Love is definitely a complex one; not unlike that of Simon Spier. Only Felix is slightly too vindictive and narrow minded for me to get on board with some of the actions he takes throughout his journey of self-discovery and acceptance. All of the relationships are messy and full of raging teenage hormones, angst and mystery that are explored and utilized well. However, I do wish that the love triangle, if you could even call it that and some of the other important subplots were explored in depth or just given the time each needed to make a significant impact...

Starts slow, but resolves nicely. I kinda like that Felix is not entirely likable. Adds more humanity to his character and makes it more believable.
I love that the story also includes the very real human anxieties we have about other people and ourselves.

This book was quite an interesting read. I enjoyed the way it tackled identity and the ways that different identities interact and how you can be marginalised in some ways while also being discriminatory to those who are marginalised in different ways to you. I feel like I could recognise some of these characters in the people I knew when I was 17 like them. I enjoyed the exploration into identity, and the way that people with differing opinions on identity can coexist within the same community and how understanding your own identity doesn't always mean you get it right first time.
