A review by alexcrin
Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender

2.0

I haven't read any YA in a while and that might be slightly clouding my judgement but I just found Felix as a character so irritating. For a character that I have similar feelings to and share some aspects of identity with, I could not relate less to him and a lot of the time the so called "character growth" that was happening felt like it came out of the blue and didn't feel earned. Another issue I had was that while I agreed with many of the point that were being made throughout about life, love and all the rest, often it came across as more of a lecture from the author than the true internal monologue of the character. Overall I'm glad that this book exists, showcasing a brown, queer, trans character, but I just wish it had been done better.
