Reviews with content warning for Physical abuse - All the Feels

These two were my favorite in Spoiler Alert, I was so glad to see them again! I LOVED Alex, I felt seen, I felt his chaos, I loved his voice and his tone and his joy. Lauren was a delight to get to know better, she’s so strong and brave and made such a great contrast to Alex. Such a different protagonist compared to April from Spoiler Alert.

I loved them. Alex and Lauren are so goofy together, I love that they found each others’ love languages in a perfect way. Alex’s favorite tropes are also my favorite tropes and I would read any of his fics any day.

In my journey to read the Spoiler Alert series backwards I have finally finished All The Feels and I indeed have many feelings myself - possibly all of them at once. I think this might be my favorite of the stories within this little Hollywood circle of actors and actresses. First off, the cover is so cute and warm and was my favorite of the three books too. And the way that Lauren reminded me of myself a little bit and that I’ve always wanted someone like Alex to love me so fiercely like he did her. From the start he was smitten with her - and of course he didn’t know it until much later but I KNEW IT JUST FROM THIS QUOTE:

“Her eyes were brighter now than the stars about could explain.”

Like EXCUSE ME YOU’RE IN LOVE GOOD SIR!

Of course I got my dreaded third-act breakup, but this one for some reason didn’t bother me as much as Peter & Maria’s so maybe that’s why I liked the book just a little more. I know I liked the book more because of the way I held onto it so tight and caused damage to the spine 😂

And of course we had our text chats and fanfictions which I loved and seeing more into Alex’s life and how he thinks. Because I’m reading backwards on this sort of interconnected trilogy I know part of Marcus & April’s story but I’m not upset about it because I just want to see how cute they are compared to the couples I have now come to love from Dade.

Alex Woodroe....I'm adding him to my fictional boyfriend list.

I absolutely loved this book so much more than Spoiler Alert! I felt that Alex and Lauren had a better connection, and it felt like both were more grounded in reality than Marcus and Grace.
Not to mention that the banter... The banter was just fun, sexy, witty, and fun and both Alex and Lauren gave as good as they got in such a delicious way.

I really enjoyed the slow burn of this one as it let both Alex and Grace actually learn each other, talk, converse, and be in the same space as they both realized they liked each other and having to come to terms with how their lives away from each other meant and what they meant in each other's lives.

I borrowed this from the library but I might just need to buy a physical copy for myself ❤️

Middle of the road book for me. It was cute, but I couldn’t get over how mean Alex was to Lauren when they first met for little reason. Like, sure, deciding she was boring because a show runner he hated assigned her as his minder in the lead up to the show being released kind of makes sense. But the fact that he stuck to it for so long was annoying.
Alex overall seemed 1/2D, he didn’t have a whole lot of depth to him. Lauren had a bit more but only by sheer virtue of not immediately hating Alex.
I was pretty meh about the first book and I’m meh about this one too, which is a bummer since as a fattie I want fun, hot romcoms with people like me in the lead!!!
Oh! One thing that was super fucking annoying was Alex constantly commenting on their height difference and how small Lauren is. Can we… have like one romance book where the main female character is taller than 5’3”? As a tall gal it’s jarring how big of a trope this is for romance books.

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.
