Summary
From award-winning author Kacen Callender comes a revelatory young adult 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 marginalisation 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 recognising the love you deserve.

❤️❤️❤️
sooooo good! a celebration of love. I've been binge listening to jane austen books and loving the romance, but hating the cisgendered hetronormativity, so this was a brilliant relief. hooked from beginning to end ❤️❤️❤️

Finally a trans protagonist
I really enjoyed listening to this cute YA coming of age story. There’s so little ftm representation in fiction, so this book is much appreciated! I liked the characters and the narrator does a great job. His voice really suits Felix. I’m glad books like this exist and I wish there were a million more like it.

Wish I could've read it earlier
I just wish I had queer teenage dramas to read as a kid. It melted my little gay heart that we finally have stories like that.
It's not a masterpiece, but it does exactly what it supposed to.

Important & Beautiful and Flawed & Inconsistent
I want to be absolutely clear:
- This book and books like it existing = Infinity/5
- I do recommend this book, especially for trans adolescents, with the caveat of checking the content warnings and the understanding that this book, like the protagonist, is flawed and inconsistent.
- The last thing I want to do is put anyone off reading this book (unless due to the CWs), I simply want to share my thoughts and to temper expectations for a more enjoyable experience.
- As flawed and inconsistent as I find this book to be and my own personal issues with some aspects, it is a heartfelt, beautiful, important work.
- The more art means something to me and I like, care about, and respect it and its creator, the more critical I am. I can't help it.
- I think Queer/ trans art needs to be treated with the respect, integrity, and criticism of any other art.
- I am Queer, Genderqueer, and extremely neurodivergent.
I am having too much trouble wrangling my brain in the midst of a C-PTSD conversion symptoms flare up right now to properly her into this review now, but I will come back later. I truly appreciate this book existing. I also have a lot of notes. I only have notes because I care and this is important to me.
For now, this book is important and beautiful, as well as flawed and inconsistent.
The narration by Logon Rozos is sheer perfection. No notes.

helpful representation
This book helped me finally admit to myself what I always knew - that I'm trans. Thanks to all of the people working on this ab.

Never too old for affirming YA fiction
As an older nonbinary person who never had transgender characters in the books I read in my teens, this is like a soothing balm! Really, it’s never too late to read these affirming stories and heal the parts of us that were neglected and unseen in our past.

Brilliant story, and amazing for non-cis white representation
As a cis white gay man, I don’t know much about being white, being trans, or being born female. And yet this book really spoke to me. Not only did I identify strongly with a bunch of characters in the book, I only reflected on some of the errors of my past. Books like this help everyone empathise with people with whom they have little in common and, perhaps, fail to understand. I look forwards to recommending it far and wide.

A Wild Ride
I loved this audiobook so much.
The narrator is so good and remained engaging throughout the story.
The story itself was a little chaotic, but I never felt lost. It was interesting to see each of the different branches come together.
