Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender
4.0

Felix Ever After was a cute story. However, as you all probably know by now from reading my reviews, I am not a huge fan of YA Fiction. It was interesting the way Callender, the author, utilized the app Instagram in the plot. As someone who grew up with an Instagram account, I could relate to the conversations through direct messages and the "trauma" of posting a photo on the wrong account. I didn't agree with some of the actions taken by Felix, the protagonist in this story, but I think it is important to remember that he is only seventeen. High schoolers don't always make the best decisions and Felix's choices in this book reflect that. With that being said, the ending was adorable and definitely made me bump up this title's rating from three to four stars. If you are looking for a YA book that focuses on gender identity, this is one you should definitely consider.
