Reviews

"Felix is like the story itself--boldly empathic, hopeful, and full of love. This top-notch depiction of a messy, complicated, romantic young artist navigating the bumpy road to self-love and self-determination sticks its landing at every turn." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"From its stunning cover art to the rich, messy, nuanced narrative at its heart, this is an unforgettable story of friendship, heartbreak, forgiveness, and self-discovery, crafted by an author whose obvious respect for teen readers radiates from every page." -- ALA Booklist (starred review)

"Felix explores love, friendship, and possibly retribution in this powerful #OwnVoices story of identity and self-worth... Full of warmth, love, and support, this is an important story and an essential purchase." -- School Library Journal (starred review)

"The writing is smart and engaging, and #OwnVoices author Callender includes sound information and responsible psychological guidance without bogging down the storytelling. Felix does ultimately find love in this sweet and tender trans romance, but his hardest-won victory is in the fight to validate his self-worth." -- Horn Book Magazine

"Full of nuanced looks at how relationships can be both toxic and supportive, loving and confusing, and exciting but brief, this is definitely not a book to be missed." -- Buzzfeed

"An intricate love story for the ages." -- CNN Underscored

"Felix is an open, warm, engaging character who extends far off the page. He's easy to relate to regardless of reader identity, which makes this book a great candidate for school libraries and summer book report lists." -- them.

"A firecracker of a book from an author with a powerful point of view, Felix Ever After is refreshingly real--full of queer kids who live and breathe and swear and love and make messy mistakes. Teens need this one." -- Casey McQuiston, bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue

"Felix Ever After never shies away from the beautiful, messy complexity of love in all its forms. This book is a gift, from start to finish." -- Becky Albertalli, bestselling author of Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda

"This is a story about friendships, finding first loves, and continuing to discover yourself even after you thought you had all the answers. I can't talk about my love for this book enough--it's going to change lives." -- Mason Deaver, bestselling author of I Wish You All the Best

"From effervescent characters that I still can't get out of my head to the sizzling backdrop of a New York City summer, Callender brings vibrance to a story that desperately needed to be told." -- Jackson Bird, author of Sorted: Growing Up, Coming Out, and Finding My Place

"There are stories that are vital and there are stories that are brilliantly crafted. Callender delivers both in this beautiful exploration of friendship, new love, and self." -- justin a. reynolds, author of Opposite of Always

"I've never read a book that more perfectly balances hardship, hope and happiness. This story shines a spotlight on the one thing that transcends all differences: a desire to be loved and to love in return." -- Nic Stone, bestselling author of Dear Martin
