Had so much fun reading this book! I loved Lauren and Alex and their dynamic. I was also never in a million years expecting the term “consentacles” to come up in a romance but it was hilarious!! Had to stop reading at a couple points just so I could laugh. 
Also Olivia dade what is your AO3 handle I need to know what your OTP is for scientific purposes!

mags_is_reading's review against another edition

this one just didn’t do it for me. I have no idea why Olivia Dade chose to hate Lauren so much but that’s the vibe I got from the very beginning of this book. It’s one thing to have a character who has a plain or unconventional appearance, it’s another to call her ugly every chance you get. Unfortunately this one was a DNF for me.

Olivia Dade has quickly become one of my favourite authors to read. I fall in love with her characters every time. 

Wren and Alex have a beautiful love story that was a pleasure to read. Their feelings for each other grows quietly and unknowingly until it’s too loud to ignore. Alex’s defensiveness of Wren had me swooning, and Wren’s harpy energy had me smiling every time she put Alex in his place. 

The forced proximity trope is the trope for me! And the fact that Alex knew it was a trope had me grinning ear to ear. 

I didn’t love how Alex kept referring to Wren’s appearance. I get it; Wren is short, fat, and has a big nose. That’s Olivia’s style and I am here for it! But some of the scenes could have been written differently to not focus on her body. We haven’t forgotten how she’s been described.

All the Feels is packed with (pretty meta) fanfiction tropes & references, almost like it‘s a love letter to fanfiction. If you’re into actor/normal person pairings then this is a good pick for you. 

My biggest complaint is the constant descriptions of Lauren’s body type and facial features. There is a 0% chance that anyone will forget that she’s not conventionally attractive because the reminders sound every few pages like a pesky alarm clock.
