This is such a beautiful story, and I truly hope many read this. It’s so inspiring and opens up your mind to more on people. I feel like I have so much to say, but there’s no words to describe how incredible this book is. 5 stars doesn’t even feel like enough to be able to express how much I love this piece

I was really excited to read this book, but it didn't hold my interest throughout. It was written well and I liked the theme. I don't know . . . I just couldnt wait to be finished with it.

How do you put a paintbrush bristles first straight through a stretched canvas?

Throughout the book even though Felix is publicly outed and deadnamed, his birth name is never explicitly said in the text, and so he is never deadnamed to the reader. He is also misgendered and there are transphobic comments but I don't remember ever seeing him get actively misgendered in on the page dialogue (but I could be wrong on that one). Some underage drinking/drug use.
