I listened to the audiobook version of this book. It was nice to hear more of Alex's and Lauren's story, which was only hinted at in Spoiler Alert. The story is sweet, but I did not get invested into the characters and their relationship. This was partly because of the audiobook narrator. I am quite picky when it comes to voices I enjoy listening to and in  this case I struggled, because the narrator used a quite monotone style of narration, which did not transport the emotions well. This is clearly a personal preference though.

5.0

This was a darling story, a new favorite of mine in the romance genre, and far superior to the quality of Spoiler Alert from my perspective. The characters are likeable and well drawn, and the love story is believable and touching. I found the sex scenes not to my personal taste but can't dock the story for that since that's just my own preferences. Highly recommended, especially if you like fanfic and hated the final seasons of GoT. 😏

"She'd almost forgotten the specific pain of attempting to make herself as small as possible... She'd almost forgotten the reality of her life."

"You're my wish come true, Wren."

AHHHHHHHHH

Okay okay... I do indeed have all the feels. Hi. I have them. All of them. My heart is very full. So full. 

Spoiler Alert didn't work for me. I was excited for it, but the chemistry wasn't there and I dragged through it. Even so, I loved the premise and the rep and the nuanced conversations between characters and I went into All the Feels willing to be burned again if Alex and Lauren could turn up the fire like I thought they could. And they did!

This book is full of loveable characters, with Alex and Lauren at it's helm. They are full of banter and snark and ANNOYINGNESS and love and light and sweetness. Their supporting cast is adorable , though most of the book is focused on our main characters. I compared them over and over in my mind to Sophie and Howl. Alex is the preening pretty boy with a fierce protective streak and Lauren is the soft, smart, strong woman trying to do keep him in line. 

The book is about finding love, overcoming trauma, healing, taking up space for yourself, etc. There's a very nuanced discussion throughout about how much harm you can take from others and yourself while trying to serve others to the best of your ability. Both Alex and Lauren experience this in different ways and really dig into it. I felt really connected to both characters. Alex has ADHD and a lot of anxiety. Lauren is a fat and ugly based on society standards. I was like.... oh. Me? You wrote this for ME? (thank u olivia bb i love u). Seeing both of these beautiful humans actually work through their ish (looking at you dark romances with no therapy or healing...) and work toward a future together and for themselves separately was so unbelievably calming and joyful. Add in the constant banter, the snark, the spice ;) and this book has probably my entire heart. 

Weirdly enough, I'm the exception here? Idk what y'all read but this was immaculate and I never wanted to put it down even when I absolutely had to.   

Also, I weirdly thought of Alicia and Scot McCarvell (tiktok) through the entire book? They should play these characters in the movie for sure. 

Recommended for those who love:
1. ​books that include Fanfiction. Game of Thrones fanfiction lowkey??
2. FAT GIRL REP!!!!! FAT GIRLS BEING LOVED FULLY REP!!!!! LIKE APPLE SHAPED FAT GIRLS <3
3. Relationships similar to Howl and Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle
4. Fiercely protective lovers
5. Not enemies by Annoyances-to-Friends-to-Lovers
6. There's only one bed trope
7. Kind of Sunshine/Grumpy trope??
8. Endless banter, flirty and fiesty
9. kind of slow build romance?

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my ARC!
