Sweet, drama-filled YA with some serious soul-searching and the usual teen love themes.

Young, black, gay and trans Felix has a lot working against his success. Add his insecurity into it, and it's unlikely he'll reach his dreams.

I read this for a book club, with an eye to self-love as the theme of our discussion, so my take was heavily influenced. It was an excellent story of Felix finding his core and learning to love himself. It was a bit pat for my tastes, but I believe that's a function of the audience. Overall, it was uplifting and interesting.
