I loved it. Seriously loved it. Beautiful and captures the trans experience so well. I couldn’t put it down and I seriously flew through it once I was reading. I’m so sad it’s over. I feel like I only read 3 pages and then it was already over

At first, I did not enjoy Felix Ever After. But as I read, I slowly became more attached to the characters, more interested in the plot and the mystery, more excited by the set pieces and the characters. By the end of the book, I was crying. God, I really enjoyed this book. Also, I really like the descriptions of the city, not just the physical descriptions of the city, but the people who live in NYC and how they interact with the city and how it makes a bunch of streets and businesses and crazy people a city.

This was amazing. I loved Felix. I loved the friendships/relationships. I also loved the topics this discusses. This is intsalovey and Felix and the characters make dumb decisions but their teenagers. While this does deal heavily with transphobia, this is also really just a story about Felix falling in love with himself and others and I think that is beautiful. I highly recommend this because it’s such an important story to tell.
