⭐️4This was a very enjoyable book to read. Throughout the book, diversity and representation were seamlessly integrated without feeling forced. A very strong cast of teen characters, messy and flawed at times, some downright ignorant and unlikeable, but genuine and real; especially the main character Felix. With Felix's story of growing up Black, transgender, and queer while facing microaggressions and abuse that come with being all those things, I had the biggest soft spot for him, and yet he demonstrated bravery in existing in his truth and being his authentic self, not allowing others to define who he is.A number of significant messages were in this book that everyone can take away and cherish, especially since it explores topics such as self-concept and the ever-evolving notion of identity and labels, as well as love, specifically being worthy of being loved, as well as self-acceptance, self-love, friendship and family.In general, this is a wonderful book that radiates warmth, hope, and acceptance for LGBTQIA+ youth. Furthermore, the cover is stunning.I highly recommend this book. This is yet another example of why YA books are superior.
