4.5

This is such an important book. The author has done a phenomenal job of writing a story that is compassionate, honest and powerful. I found that the characters were believable teenagers with all of their angst messiness. I thought Felix was adorable and infuriating at once which makes him a great character. He was complex and flawed and grows so much! This is the kind of book that all young adults should have access to and should read. There are discussions around identity, self love, romantic and platonic love, coming of age, conflict resolution, career planning, art and of course queerness and transness. I loved this a lot.
