This feels like 'Love, Simon' (I've only seen the movie) but way way better.
Felix's feelings about his identity were very relatable. The commentary on healthy versus toxic types of love was perfect.
I loved how complex his relationships with others throughout the book were. His mom, his dad, his friends. Each character felt unique and well thought out. The tone of each character felt accurate to their ages.
Felix himself is a complex character. He doesn't always make the right choices and doesn't always see things perfectly, and I liked that about him.
