Felix Ever After opens Goodreads in a new tab

My thoughts

4.5/5stars It’s like every identity I have . . . the more different I am from everyone else . . . the less interested people are. The less . . . lovable I feel, I guess. The love interests in books, or in movies or TV shows, are always white, cis, straight, blond hair, blue eyes. Chris Evans, Jennifer Lawrence. It becomes a little hard, I guess, to convince myself I deserve the kind of love you see on movie screens. I am personally not so big on love triangles, but I could totally look past that here just because this book has so much more to offer. A flawed main character trying to figure themselves out, and end up hurting people in the process- it is a very REAL portrayal. and while i absolutely hate Felix for breaking Declan's heart like that and leading him on despite knowing what would happen I think I do like him. I see myself in him and not only because of all the confusion and questioning and identity crisis but also because i am not perfect. no human being is. and well, while what happened was sad for some, I was overall very very satisfied with the ending. Def. regret not reading this one sooner. Gay vibes and actual real representation, and things to relate to. Loved it! 10/10 would recc. I’m not flaunting anything. I’m just existing. This is me. I can’t hide myself. I can’t disappear. And even if I could, I don’t fucking want to. I have the same right to be here. I have the same right to exist.
