TW: homophobia, transphobia, being abandoned

This book was stunning. Everything about it. It is so real.
The complexities of being a teen. The complexities of being black and queer.
Might be one of my favorite reads. I really related to some of Felix’s struggles. They really hit home. I haven’t cried reading a book in a while.
Felix is a really strong and forgiving person. I could never.

Honestly wish this book was polyamorous lol.

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
