I liked it. However the main negative for me was that the sex scenes were a bit graphic.

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.

I adored this book, I think it's my favourite by Olivia Dade so far. It was such a heart warming and fun story to read, and the way their relationship grows feels so genuine and cute. Both characters have believable (but not annoying) flaws that you can empathise with. I feel like part of my heart was healed reading this story.

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.
