Considering how much pegging is associated with both Cupid and Alex, especially in the first book, I'm pretty disappointed that there is no on-the-page pegging scene. Where was the peg that was promised??
Overall a very cute book and a very fun follow-up to Spoiler Alert. I enjoyed Alex and Lauren's dynamic once we hit the middle of the book, as the beginning felt somewhat like a recap of the first book's events from a different perspective. I wish we had been able to see their relationship flourish a little earlier on, since seeing these misunderstandings rehashed was a little tiresome (especially as someone who recently finished the first book, so pretty much everything is still fresh in my mind). Nonetheless, this book was a funny, cute, and emotional read.

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. 😏

Review: When I first started reading, I was skeptical about how much I'd enjoy thus book, but I was proved wrong. ALL THE FEELS quickly became an all time favorite and Olivia Dade is now an auto-buy and a must read ASAP author. Due to my enjoyment of the story and the characters, the numerous tropes used, and moments between the main couple that hit home for me, I couldn't help but giving this 5 stars. Alex is the male main character, working as an actor on a popular show, but due to him getting caught in another scandal that will affect his already tarnished reputation, his management assigned him a minder, Lauren, to keep in check until the last episode airs. At first, Alex and Lauren are put off by each other but the forced proximity and personal conversations eased their relationship into something platonic and later on, romantic. Alex has ADHD and often feels his emotions at 100%. He does things impulsively without always thinking about the consequences but does so with good intentions. Lauren quickly realizes that there's more to Alex and his scandals may not be as bad as they seem or entirely his fault. 

Immediate Thoughts After Reading: Nov 24, 2021: If I could stop crying about the last 150ish pages maybe I could write a coherent review. Anyways this is 5 stars and my new favorite book by Olivia Dade. My heart is screaming. Alex is in L O V E with Lauren. The cover has so many hints and symbols to the story. They remind me of a Tiktok couple. I am a very happy harpy. Goodnight. 

Some of my Favorite Lines:
 -"To quote a great leader, and I think I speak for all of is here: fuck you very much." 
 -"He didn't need more either. She was enough. She was everything, exactly as she was." 
 -"Whatever you want. However you want it. Nothing more, nothing less." 
 -"To all the little girls who learned to stay quiet and not take up space in the world. May you find your inner harpies and demand your due, at long last."
 -"I dont carry about them, Wren. I want to look at you. I want to listen to you."
 -"Because she was important. Too important to let herself be abused without consequence."
