I really enjoyed this read too. The sequel to Spoiler Alert - this follows the characters of Alex and Lauren. I really enjoyed the relationship they formed. Can’t wait for book 3!

Alex is an actor who is embroiled in scandal, according to the show runners for the “Big Network” production, where he plays Cupid. Ron, one of the show runners,ropes in his cousin, Lauren to be Alex’s minder, even though she was supposed to be on a much needed vacation. It’s a very funny, sweet, enemies to lovers.

I love the way Dade writes her leading women. Is it refreshing to read about women who look like us, the every day woman? YES. But her women are so much more than that (thank god). I was struck in Spoiler Alert by April's POV -- how unique she was, how strong her convictions were, how much she seemed like a real person. In All The Feels, I felt the same way about our woman protagonist, Lauren Clegg. Very different from April, and so completely Lauren. I loved her, I loved her confidence, and I loved her caution, too! She and Alex (the man protagonist) fit so well together. Their love story was so real and believable because Dade wrote them as bouncing off of each other. Sometimes banter can get old in books, but in All The Feels, their banter had purpose: it established the connection between Lauren and Alex as well as became a way for the two to convey how they felt (about each other, about their day, etc.). Love!
As always, Dade's use of fanfiction culture is perfect. In Spoiler Alert, Dade addressed the nuances and complexities of fandom and fandom culture (which worked well for April and Marcus, two people who have immersed themselves in fandom). In All The Feels, Dade doesn't address fandom culture in the same way because it isn't of interest to Alex -- what Alex cares about are the stories and the tropes, which is just perfect.
When Alex gets the soulmate-first-words tattoo at the end, I almost cried I stg.

People are rude about the way Lauren looks -- but in my opinion, it doesn't feel gratuitous or poorly done. It's a real thing Lauren deals with, and Alex has to learn how to deal with it, too.the13thmagdalena's review

I was personally thrown off by this book because the main characters have my name and my sibling's name.... And I couldn't see myself being friends with either of the main characters in real life. The continued references to fanfic were still delightful. The conflict at the end felt unbelievable after their honesty throughout the rest of the book and I had to skip a few pages to get past the drama and back to the reunion.

GAHHHHH I'm in love with this book. Everything about it. Mmm okay well maybe not some of those in between chapters with the scripts but other than that its perfect and even those can't dampen the rating!!!!! Seriously I don't think I've ever loved a relationship dynamic more. I mean both characters are so amazingly written and are perfect for each other AND THAT SLOW BURNNN OH MY GOODDD. Alex is perfect and I will not be accepting slander in any way shape or form. honestly my favorite thing about this book was the resolution. The way both characters grew and worked out their own problems and acknowledged everything that needed to acknowledged and left nothing wanting (except maybe a pegging scene but hey that's for another time) was beautiful. I absolutely adore the character development. Okay that's all. Go read the book if you haven't.
