Easily one of the best books I have read in the past 5 years. Felix Ever After came for my heart and left me crying happy tears for both Felix and myself. If you are lgbtq+, questioning, or want to be a good ally pick this book up. Its phenomenally done, showing how honestly messy teens and young adulthood is. Heed the content warnings of transphobia as the main conflict center around Felix being outed and getting revenge on the person terrorizing him. The way he deals with it and affirms himself is incredibly emotionally intelligent. I cannot explain how much I love this book💕
Graphic: Transphobia
Moderate: Bullying
Minor: Deadnaming, Drug use, Homophobia, Racism, Sexism, Sexual content, and Medical content
The characters deadname is never actually written or seen in the book just mention of him being deadnamed and his reaction to it, discussions on classism and intersectionality. minor content warning for drugs alcohol and sex cause teenagers doing teenager things. Medical content is done in a informative, consensual, and healthy way.
