Felix Ever After

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.
