Review: This new YA novel follows a queer, trans teen trying to find out who's behind a traumatizing transphobic act — a quest that takes him on an emotional roller coaster to explore his own identity and his relationships.
And what can compete with the intensity of that age — when you're discovering who you really are, finding first love and learning that you're worth it? The emotional journey of young love gives the novel a universal feel, despite the multiple identity labels that make life for Felix so challenging.
All of those boxes Felix checks, in addition to being abandoned by his mother early on, can make the character hard to believe if you're in parts of the country where white is still the dominant racial group and boy and girl binaries are the only socially acceptable options.get the spotlight in more stories. And ultimately, Felix's empowerment by the book's cinematic end wouldn't feel so hard-won and well-earned without all of his complicated identity issues.
"How do we find and cultivate pride for each other and ourselves when we're in a world that seems like it doesn't want us to exist?" Felix asks, early in the novel. One approach goes: You can't be what you can't see. In a foreword, Callender — who is nonbinary — says that something changed for them when they saw a transgender character for the first time, on the show.
