This was an enjoyable read! I loved that one of the MCs had ADHD, it felt nice to see that in print. He was funny and kind and loving and everything you could want in a love interest. The female MC didn't have all that much of a personality other than being "ugly" and letting people walk all over her. I wanted to love her, but there wasn't much to connect with. That being said, I did really like idea of two people who aren't perfect matches in terms of conventional attractiveness get together. It was beautiful seeing their connection grow throughout the story. I will say, I didn't feel any heat until the actual spicy scenes, so that also was a slight let down. I felt their love but not their attraction. 

All in all, it was funny and sweet and had a good message, so I would recommend.

For a story that mentioned pegging about a hundred times, why was there no pegging?!

It was a cute enough story and I enjoyed the read but it did frustrate me after a while - I guess it’s nice to see a book with an ‘ugly’ love interest but did we need it hammered home so much?!

Alas, not my favorite of this series thus far. Admittedly, I'm not a fan of slow burn romances and the working title for this book was "Slow Burn" so that's more on me. Your mileage might vary.

That said, I remember being excited to see Alex and Lauren fall in love while reading Spoiler Alert and this didn't disappoint. I really appreciate that Lauren isn't the "accepted" type of plus-sized, I.E. the hourglass-shaped vixen with a Jessica Rabbit-like bust-waist-hips ratio. Bodies come in different shapes and sizes and they're all valid and deserve our appreciation.

I also appreciate the depiction of Alex's ADHD. ADHD is often portrayed as this vapid, quirky, impulsive thing and Alex is very much seen that way in the public eye but we get to see the full picture of his love, his need for acceptance, his huge emotional range. We get to see the world through his eyes and it's so rich.

And Wren, ugh. She kept surprising me and her struggle with giving just so much of herself that she's burning out on all fronts is something I understand too well. Dade sucked punched me with that and the slow reveal of just how much Lauren does that. It's actually reminded me to take better care of myself so thank you, Olivia Dade for that one.

Overall, it wasn't the slam dunk I was hoping for but it's still a great time with a great cast.

I LOVEDD thisss - idk what it what exactly and I definitely get why not everyone would love this cause some of the dialogue and stuff could definitely come across as cringy at times but I don’t care I loveddd this 
I could not put it down and I loved their dynamic and stuff so much 
Literally enjoyed so so much and I’m so glad I saw this mentioned on booktok and randomly decided to pick it up when I was at the library the other week

Love the main character who is out of the norm for a romantic heroine, and the ADHD context of the hero.  Note some content may not be suitable for all readers.

There were plot points that I thought were overdone, like Alex’s ADHD. As a person with ADHD, I recognized it as such before it was ever named. But I thought it was overkill to say something along the lines of ‘*insert a personality trait that Alex has* because of his ADHD’. Also, I wish we would’ve gotten more pregona content between Lauren and Alex. It was certainly mentioned enough 😂
