At first, I did not enjoy Felix Ever After. But as I read, I slowly became more attached to the characters, more interested in the plot and the mystery, more excited by the set pieces and the characters. By the end of the book, I was crying. God, I really enjoyed this book. Also, I really like the descriptions of the city, not just the physical descriptions of the city, but the people who live in NYC and how they interact with the city and how it makes a bunch of streets and businesses and crazy people a city.

Online catfishing is a major plot point in the novel.

The controversial term beginning with "q" is used frequently to refer to LGBTQIA+ folk, which I believe is still controversial among that community.

There's a good amount of casual drug use but nothing very explicitly described.
