And even if I could, I don’t fucking want to. Although I stand behind everything I have said in this review, I urge you to read #ownvoices reviews of this book. This book was perfect in the most complicated, honest and pure way of self-discovery and acceptance. I celebrated Felix and I grieved right alongside them. I laughed, I cried, I sat on the edge of my seat praying for Felix’s happily ever after. This book was a rollercoaster of emotions. What he didn’t count on: his catfish scenario landing him in a quasi–love triangle….īut as he navigates his complicated feelings, Felix begins a journey of questioning and self-discovery that helps redefine his most important relationship: how he feels about himself.įelix Ever After is an honest and layered story about identity, falling in love, and recognizing the love you deserve. When an anonymous student begins sending him transphobic messages-after publicly posting Felix’s deadname alongside images of him before he transitioned-Felix comes up with a plan for revenge. What’s worse is that, even though he is proud of his identity, Felix also secretly fears that he’s one marginalization too many-Black, queer, and transgender-to ever get his own happily-ever-after.

He desperately wants to know what it’s like and why it seems so easy for everyone but him to find someone.
