The Tragedy of Felix and Jake: Special Edition Paperback Paperback – February 6, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
They say the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.
They say the best way to stay sober is to love yourself.
I’m great at making bad decisions.
Addict? Check. Poor impulse control? Check. Obsessed with the guy I’m sponsoring? Check Check Check.
There is no one worse for me to want in my bed than Jake Tully. He’s hot and grumpy and literally a terrible idea. Terrible. Worse, no one has ever made me feel the way he does — valued. But here I am - thinking about him again.
Falling for my sponsor is not my worst idea yet, but it’s damn close.
Felix Fields is everything good. He’s thoughtful and kind. I can’t help but think about every bad thing we could do between these sheets.
But we can’t be together. I’m not willing to risk my recovery for anyone – even if he might be perfect for me.
Finding a love like this is nothing short of a tragedy.
Includes a Felix bonus scene!
**Author's Note: This book ends in a Happily Ever After, but getting there isn't easy.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Felix is the best friend you never knew you needed in your life. Jake is the grumpy guy you need to watch succeed. Together their story is filled with amazing highs and tragic lows. J. Daniels highly anticipated return is nothing short of tragically wonderful. - Sarah S, Goodreads Review
This has to one of my favorite books I have read so far in the year. I laughed, cried (a lot) and smiled throughout it. - Sheena, Goodreads Review
This book was everything! It was hard and sweet and beautiful! I loved it so much! - Kristen, Goodreads Review
Wow this amazing, heartwarming, witty & gut wrenching book. Just finished riding this roller coaster of emotions. - Zizie, Goodreads Review
To say, I loved this book, and that I loved Jake and Felix is putting it too mildly. - Megan ~The Never Ending Book Basket

- Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024One of my favorite books with a beautiful cover
- Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2025The Tragedy of Felix by J. Daniels is one of those rare books that grabs your heart from the first page and doesn’t let go. I read this along with the audiobook, and I have to say—Iggy Toma and Tristan Josiah delivered phenomenal performances. Their voices brought every emotion to life, from laughter to heartbreak, and they captured the soul of the story perfectly.
This book had me laughing out loud but it also made me cry more than once. At its core, this is the deeply emotional journey of two addicts, both fighting to stay sober while unexpectedly finding love in the process. Their story is messy, raw, tender, and so incredibly human.
J. Daniels has written something truly special here. It’s not just a romance—it’s a story about healing, forgiveness, and hope. One of the most beautifully written and emotionally impactful reads I’ve experienced in a long time.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2025But the story is definitely heartbreakingly FANTASTIC!!! Parts of their lovestory are very hard to read without a visceral reaction.....Watching the two of them navigate both differing degrees sobriety, self-loathing, and then co-dependency before a HFN ending was at times wrenchingly beautiful and head-banging anger. Totally worth reading though do read the trigger warnings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful
The hype is real. I loved pretty much everything about this book 💜. The angst scared me at first, but turns out there are so many funny and cute moments that even the really dark moments were easier to digest.
I fell for these men, CJ included cause what a great brother he is ! 🥰
I think Felix and Jake deserve the best kind of love, love from each other, love from their friends, families, they deserve happiness even if their addiction is painful sometimes 🥺.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it
I knew that this book wasn’t going to be an easy read but this book broke me. I loved the story of Felix and Jake. It’s tragic and sometimes sad but they fight for each other. I love that this book really tells the ugly truth and not just the romantic aspects.
