Well this was a rollercoaster, wasn’t it? A unique and thoughtful story about what it means to grow up and come into your own. The character of Felix Love is definitely a complex one; not unlike that of Simon Spier. Only Felix is slightly too vindictive and narrow minded for me to get on board with some of the actions he takes throughout his journey of self-discovery and acceptance. All of the relationships are messy and full of raging teenage hormones, angst and mystery that are explored and utilized well. However, I do wish that the love triangle, if you could even call it that and some of the other important subplots were explored in depth or just given the time each needed to make a significant impact...
Graphic: Transphobia, Hate crime, Outing, and Stalking
