• CNs for this book: transmisia, off-page deadnaming, misgendering, harassment

• Felix is a great and relatable main character. He’s emotional and insecure and makes mistakes… he’s so real that it almost hurts.
• Ezra is such an angel! He is the perfect friend and everyone should have someone like him in their life.
• The story was very emotional and adressed a lot of important topics.
• Felix is questioning his gender identity again after already coming out as a trans boy. For me, this part of the story was incredibly important.
After struggling with his gender identity for a while, Felix ends up identifying as a demiboy!!! Demigender representation is so important to me, and I almost cried when Felix discovered that label for himself.

• A lot of transmisia is mentioned in this book. Although those parts were very hard to read, I liked the fact that the transmisia was always adressed and called out and the characters stood up for each other and themselves.
• This book is so full of pride and queerness and love! It was really validating.
• The ending was so cute! Seriously, I couldn’t stop smiling because it was so adorable!

• I can‘t put my love for this book into words! „Felix Ever After“ is already my favorite book of 2020 and everyone should read it at least once.
