A Stonewall Honor Book * A Time Magazine Best YA Book of All Time
From Stonewall and Lambda Award–winning author Kacen Callender comes a revelatory YA novel about a transgender teen grappling with identity and self-discovery while falling in love for the first time.
Felix Love has never been in love—and, yes, he’s painfully aware of the irony. He desperately wants to know what it’s like and why it seems so easy for everyone but him to find someone. 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.
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 he didn’t count on: his catfish scenario landing him in a quasi–love triangle....
But 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.
Felix Ever After is an honest and layered story about identity, falling in love, and recognizing the love you deserve.
"Felix is attending an ultracompetitive arts summer program to have a better shot at a full scholarship to Brown when someone posts Felix’s dead name beside photos of him, pre-transition, in the school’s lobby. Felix’s plot to get revenge throws him onto the path of love and self-discovery." (Publishers Weekly, "An Anti-Racist Children's and YA Reading List")

hela denna bok var fantastisk. detta är första gången någonsin fått min egen komplicerade relation till kön och queerhet speglad i skönlitteratur, och det känns fantastiskt. jag känner mig sedd och fylls av hopp. framtiden är full av sådana som jag och felix och vi är så viktiga och värda att älskas.

Otroligt fin bok om sexualitet, vänskap och kärlek. Om att göra misstag, funderingar om framtiden och att vara queer tonåring. Feelgood med en hel del att ta lärdom av

Please pick it up, not just bc it's pride month but like whenever you can. It's not only heartwarming but also deals with so many issues and is informative as well.TW: Bullying, Queer phobia, TransphobiaAfter his surgery, Felix is still coming to terms with his identity, being a trans queer black, trying to find himself and make a mark looking for acceptance from his father who still calls him by his dead name at times, dealing with the anxiety of getting into the most prestigious art schools, finding someone who'll love him for him and the added pressure of being bullied by a vile coward hiding behind social media, who's deeply transphobic. It's a dynamic contemporary queer rep ya, dealing with so many issues, including transphobia even in the queer community, friendship, jealousy with a dash of mystery which will keep you hooked.Also, the love triangle was dealt in such a good way like ngl, I'd my doubts since that trope has become one of the most clichéd ones.

Bubblig och pirrig, rapp och sårbar. Handlar bl.a. om vänskap, identitet, förälskelse, trygghet, familj, fördomar, hemligheter, rädslor och prestation.Väldigt fint att läsa en berättelse ur en transpersons perspektiv, alla huvudkaraktärer (och de flesta biroller) är både poc och queer (💛), och detta hör ju tyvärr inte till vanligheterna.
