TW: homophobia, transphobia, being abandoned
This book was stunning. Everything about it. It is so real.
The complexities of being a teen. The complexities of being black and queer.
Might be one of my favorite reads. I really related to some of Felix’s struggles. They really hit home. I haven’t cried reading a book in a while.
Felix is a really strong and forgiving person. I could never.
Honestly wish this book was polyamorous lol.

Felix Ever After is an inspiring story. It really illustrates for the reader how art can empower the artist and how art can help someone heal when faced with a terrible situation. The story also offers insights on the gender identity, friendship, and love.

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’ve read this book for the second time now and honestly, I didn’t know what I would rate it, especially with how much how much I loved this book when I read it the first time. I rated it 5 stars based on memories alone, which I can stand by that choice, but I wanted to know how I would really feel about it today (again with how much I loved it) and omg, this book is definitely 5 stars. I probably wasn’t even halfway through when I knew this. I think especially since I’ve read this book before, it mostly just a good time (even though it’s definitely a good time even if you’re just reading it for the first time), and I was literally just happy and laughing all the way through. This book… just means so much to me,,, it meant so much to younger me and it means so much now. I’ve just finished the book, and I’m tearing up still. Something about this book, it’s just good vibes. Honestly, I think Kacen Callender can do this to me. Hurricane child was the first book I read from him and I loved it so much when I was younger— then I reread it and loved it so much again. But this book, definitely means so much to me, just like it did when I was younger. I may have forgotten why, but now all those feelings are coming back, and new ones are emerging. I can’t even describe how I feel,, but I hope you get it, especially if you’ve read this book. It’s just a story of love (which I especially needed right now) and is a message everyone needs, especially as queer, and more especially as trans/ gender nonconforming people. If you didn’t get it from my long blurb, I love this book. I love it so much. I literally finished it one sitting because I just needed to,, it’s especially noteworthy that I couldn’t put down a book I’ve already read. I do think Callender is an amazing writer and their stories are just so real. Praise the Gods indeed. I can’t wait until a couple years later and I can read this book again. :>
