Felix Para Sempre by Kacen Callender
3.0
So. I had high expectations about this book. They were not met.
I wanna begin by saying that I still enjoyed reading the book, it's fast and easy to read, and I think it can be very helpful and also hopeful for young LGBT+ people. If I had read this book a couple years ago, I would've given it five stars. So maybe this is just a case of "this book is not for me."
There were a few things that took me out of the reading:
- The writing. I don't know why. It felt too forced. To many swear words. Things that were repeated so often that they lost meaning.
- Info dumping when describing the characters. I hate it.
- The love triangle.Felix spends the book falling for Declan, then, despite never having shown any romantic feelings towards Ezra, he suddenly decides Ezra is the right for him. WTF. Honestly.
Anyway. I also was annoyed by the main character during most of the book.
BUT. Despite everything, I do think this is a good book for someone who's still trying to understand their gender identity. It certainly would've made it easier for me if I had read it five years ago.
