L'histoire de Felix est à la fois déchirante et touchante, célébrant la diversité de la vie. Le récit offre un aperçu authentique de la vie des adolescents queer, de leurs erreurs et des défis de l'amour. Il est décrit comme un livre puissant qui met en lumière la beauté complexe de l'amour sous toutes ses formes. Le livre contient des contenus potentiellement déclencheurs tels que la queerphobie, la transphobie, la dysphorie, le deadnaming, le misgendering, le harcèlement et le coming out forcé.

As King's friendship with Sandy is reignited, he's forced to confront questions about himself and the reality of his brother's death.
