Merci Felix de m’encourager, dans les mots d’Alok Vaid Menon, à avoir le courage de me briser le cœur moi-même.

J’ai retiré 0,25 pour les quelques répétitions qui n’ont en rien changé le fait que ce livre va rester avec moi très longtemps.

Ce livre m’a fait ressentir des émotions similaires à, voire plus intenses que, I Wish All the Best. Je recommande donc aux personnes qui ont aimé I Wish You All the Best de lire Felix Ever After et aux personnes qui ont aimé Felix Ever After de lire I Wish You All The Best.

This book was quite an interesting read. I enjoyed the way it tackled identity and the ways that different identities interact and how you can be marginalised in some ways while also being discriminatory to those who are marginalised in different ways to you. I feel like I could recognise some of these characters in the people I knew when I was 17 like them. I enjoyed the exploration into identity, and the way that people with differing opinions on identity can coexist within the same community and how understanding your own identity doesn't always mean you get it right first time.

This is a book about finding and learning to love oneself. It was so cute and I found myself internally and sometimes externally screaming. Everything is so interconnected and cool. The plot had a lot of different points which sometimes felt like too much but it was still fabulous.

This was such a heart-warming read. At first, I was hesitant and wary because it's been a while since I've read YA and I didn't know if I would still enjoy it. But I remained engaged and excited throughout, and was always eager to pick it back up and find out what happened next. I found the plot twist at the end shocking, although I rarely correctly guess plot twists so idk how much that means. 
I loved Felix and Ezra's relationship and how loving and protective Ezra was throughout the book, it was so comforting to see someone protecting Felix from all the transphobes at their school. Also I loved the diversity, as it is harder to find black trans rep, I think the author did a good job of accurately representing that demographic, and I found it informing to read as a cis person.

Overall, this was a good book and
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes YA in general 

Fuck Marigold or whatever her name is, she really needs to educate herself. And Austin, but at least he knows he was wrong and apologised. 
Although I am a Felix Ezra shipper first, I did like the Felix and Declan relationship, although it was horrible for Felix to catfish him to that extent, it got too complicated by the end.
