Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender
2.0
friends to lovers ruined this book for me, and i wish i was joking. also, i wish someone told me how this was going to turn out somehow so i didn't have to bother at all. it's not like i didn't enjoy “felix ever after” at least a little bit, because i did. but i also found it very... underwhelming. i don't know.
the way this book made me feel reminded me a lot of the headspace i was in while catching up with the wolves of mercy falls—what i mean by this is, this is so not my target anymore. felix is a pretty complicated character, and while i know that all his faults make him nothing but human... i really can't emphatize with teenagers anymore, i'm sorry.
the romance wasn't convincing either, the bit with declan because it was way too rushed and whatever the hell happened with ezra because it was oh–so predictable. i liked some aspects of the representation here, many of the passages and ideas portrayed in this book, but i also found it extremely triggering—and i'm not even trans!
for this and many more reasons, i'm not sure i would recommend “felix ever after” lightly to anyone.
