This book put me through all the feels; laughing, crying, fuming, etc.. I’m mad that

it took this long for me to get around to reading it. I’m also angry at how much time passed before I could find a book like this on the shelves. I'm proud that Felix Ever After is now available at multiple bookstores and libraries.

The writing is beautiful and shows the truth of the struggle to love oneself in a real way. At points, it hit me a little too close to home, and I found it difficult to push through the blatant transphobia that Felix had to deal with. None of us should have to experience a hate act like that in our lives, but many of us do. I’m so happy to have Felix Ever After.

Je ne suis clairement plus dans la tranche d’âge visée par le roman. Sympa mais pas non plus révolutionnaire pour mes vieux os. Très très bien pour les ados.

An amazing, beautiful, heartbreaking, and uplifting book about Felix, an 18-year-old trans male who doesn’t feel that 'trans' accurately represents his identity. This story follows Felix as he finds his voice, discovers love, pursues his passion, and encounters true friendship.

A good book for walking in a trans teenager of color’s shoes - but read a bit like a teaching text more than a story.

The second half of this blew me away. Omg I was listening to this on a walk in the park and my legs almost gave out. I tried to listen in the car and had to turn it off because I didn’t trust my self to focus enough on driving. I screamed, I cried, I paced, I curled up into a ball. I felt so many emotions listen to this book and all the different ideas on how people in the queer community interact with each other and how to find the right labels, if you need to, how to support all aspects of the community you are a part of, that having different opinions on expression are okay but making someone feel like they don’t belong because their opinion is different than yours is not. I wish i could have had this in high school because there is nothing that explored and so perfectly captured from a high school point of view that felt like a teenager was sharing their life that has made me feel as seen as this book.

Felix finally letting himself have love in his friendships and letting himself experience healthy love made me cry. The growth of Felix and Leah’s friendship may have been my favorite part of the book.

the tropes are stereotypical but as it feels like such a real story and the truth behind them was so well done, who cares. These are the most raw intrinsic feelings I’ve had for a book in years, maybe ever. I’ve never let myself feel as deeply as these characters, especially in front of others, and honestly I am inspired.
