It’s a coming of age book in the new age. I love that Felix finds himself and so so young. But also, everyone in this book is a classic annoying teenager and it’s hard to not go into teacher mode and tell them all that most of what they are complaining about will not matter after they graduate. But once I got beyond that, I was able to enjoy the story more. Felix identifying as a demiboy  and showing how many other identities there are out there I know is life changing for so many. It was wonderful to read this during pride in San Diego as it is set during Pride time in New York. It felt so wonderful to look around and see all the Felix and friends at Pride. I love seeing books like these and having them around for my high school kids when they ask for recommendations. More books like these please 🥰
