    “Being trans brings me love. It brings me happiness, It gives me power. It makes me feel like I’m a god. I wouldn’t change myself for anything.”

    Disclaimer: This book features a Black, queer, transgender main character. As I am not any of those things, I can’t speak for the representation of these groups!

    TW: transphobia, bullying & use of deadname

    Where, oh where, do I even start with this one?

    I stumbled upon Felix Ever After in the usual way; seeing people rave about it online. After an impromptu trip to the bookstore w/ my mom, I saw it in all its gorgeous-cover glory on display and had to pick it up! As I’ve mentioned in my previous post, I’ve dedicated June to reading books by/featuring LGBTQIAP+ or POC characters, and just couldn’t say no to this one.

  • Juliet Takes a Breath Review

    “I wanted her to change my world.”
    “Mi amor, only you can change your world.”

    Disclaimer: Before I review this awesome book, I just want to say that I can in no way speak for the representation present in this particular story. Juliet is a Puerto Rican lesbian female from the Bronx who has her own unique voice, and while I’d like to think that this representation is kickass, I am not in any of the represented groups in this book and cannot make such claims!
