Chloe Liese always hits with the representation in her books. Gavin's chronic pain and Oliver's anxiety are so well written in a real and respectful way. What was missing for me in this was Oliver's arc. Gavin is given so much space to grow, and I feel like Oliver doesn't get that. I would have loved to see more of him growing into his new position and building up confidence. Additionally, I felt that we never really see a resolution of Gavin's initial feelings towards Oliver, his resentment and jealousy just kind of go away over time and those feelings are never really addressed between the two of them.

Awe Oliver and Gavin were so cute together!!!

I liked it, I'll always enjoy and good dislike to like book trope :)

I do have my critics, like I didn't really understand what the first chapter that takes place four years before the actual timeline of the book was added like the book would have been fine without it.

I also do feel like the relationship building between Oliver and Gavin was rushed... but regardless of such I still liked them. They really captured the grumpyxsunshine trope well!

Also, I absolutely loved seeing Aiden and Faye as parents!!! Lennie is such a sweet little girl, I love her relationship with her uncles and parents.

Personally, I wouldn't consider this a slow burn, and there wasn't much enemies to lovers in this book except for the almost fight scene. Because of the 2 year jump in time, we miss out on a lot of the supposed animosity and only catch the tail end of it with some pranks and harsh words, but they pretty quickly fall into a "will they won't they" thing throughout the majority of the book. It was enjoyable, and I like both of the main characters, I just would have liked to see a little more build-up. Also, I had no idea this was a series, so you don't need to read the others before this one.

Everything For You has been on my TBR for quite awhile so I was so excited when I finally got around to reading it! I enjoyed the beginning of the book, but the story ended up falling a bit flat for me in the end (unfortunately).

I just wanted more from this story and the characters. More discussions revolving around mental health, more romantic yearning from both parties, more conversations about their pasts, etc.

I wanted more romantic buildup between them as well. Oliver + Gavin didn’t make their deal until around the 60% mark — which was a bit late for my taste — but others might feel differently!
