Reviews with content warning for Drug use - Felix Ever After

Loved the romance, loved the art so much.

This is a really sweet and touching story and so heartwarming. It took me a bit to get used to the present tense but it was easy to fall in with these characters. This book is all about love and there are some very messy relationships for these teens but it’s fun to be a part of their world for a bit.

Take note of the content warnings, there is repeated overt and explicit transphobic content that the main character has to deal with that forms most of the major conflict of the book, and while the MC has support and these attacks are called out, it’s quite aggressive so do be aware going in.

I hadn’t known going in that it largely takes place at an art school as Felix is preparing his portfolio, but I absolutely loved the focus on art! Each of Felix’s classmates focus on different mediums in their artwork and the way that the author described the beauty of each was incredible. I’m glad we get a little taste of what some of these works would look like.

Loved the book, characters and plot. Got me seriously invested. The only reason I didn't put it higher was because I personally didn't like who the main character ended up wtih

All I could think while listening (audiobook) to the first half was “This is not going to end well”. The initial forced outing that set everything in motion was harsh, nobody deserve that. Felix reaction, aka his plan to uncover who did it, was very realist for a teenager, even if it was not a good plan. The second half had me in a stronghold: I wanted to know who did it, I wanted to know how the plan would unravel, I wanted the best for Felix. And I got my answers, I got my ending. I don’t like forced outings, because it implies a lost of control that I fear myself, but it was the characters that got me eventually.
