Is Felix Ever After Worth Reading?
Ada’s Score
Felix Love — a Black, transgender seventeen-year-old — has never been in love, and is starting to wonder if it's because he doesn't deserve it. When an anonymous classmate posts his deadname and pre-transition photos in his school, Felix sets out on a catfishing scheme for revenge that spirals into something far more complicated. Kacen Callender's novel is a sharp, funny, emotionally honest portrait of queerness, transness, family, and the messy work of self-acceptance. It was longlisted for the National Book Award for Young People's Literature.
