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.

Yeah.. I don’t need a fat-shaming love interest. I don’t care if he gets a redemption arc later in the book, she deserves better than someone who thought she was ugly and was a jerk about it the first time he saw her. It gives the wrong idea to fat women everywhere that they should hold out for the hot jerk in case he grows to love her for her personality. At any size, YOU DESERVE TO BE LOVED FOR YOUR APPEARANCE AND NOT IN SPITE OF IT!!!

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.

Profoundly irked by the lack of pegging!

Overall enjoyable…more good than bad, I’d say.

Definitely some problematic elements, especially surrounding the intense focus on Lauren’s appearance that didn’t let up from page 1 right through to the end of the epilogue. I also found Alex a bit infantile for a 39-year old and I don’t know if that was the best way to show his ADHD. Being a “delightful asshole” came across more grating than endearing at times.

But otherwise, I enjoyed the crossover timeline from Spoiler Alert and how they interconnected. I really liked the slow burn of Alex & Lauren’s relationship, plus the extra tidbits of the fanfics and playing up the romantic tropes on their road trip.

Cute story. Opposites attract with a plethora of miscommunication tropes.

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!

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.
