This was amazing. I loved Felix. I loved the friendships/relationships. I also loved the topics this discusses. This is intsalovey and Felix and the characters make dumb decisions but their teenagers. While this does deal heavily with transphobia, this is also really just a story about Felix falling in love with himself and others and I think that is beautiful. I highly recommend this because it’s such an important story to tell.

Does it have queer/trans rep?? Yes. Is it super toxic the entire time?? Also, yes. Yikes.

This book is officially my new favourite book of 2021. I've just finished it and I'm at a loss of what to say; it just means so much to me. I loved the conversations it held, such those about pronouns and transphobic "feminists", but also ones about love and what this feels like and looks like and how you are deserving of it. Felix was an incredible main character. He had so much confusion and hope and I felt so caught up in his journey of self discovery and acceptance. He is a character that is going to stay with me for a long time. 
However, this book deserves 5 stars not just because of how meaningful it was to me, but also because it was just GOOD. The pacing was fantastic; I read it in two sittings. The romance was gorgeous and done so, so well. The book was also just so poetic. I've highlighted so many places, and the ending was perfect. I genuinely love this book so much.
