All the Feels
by Olivia Dade
I was very interested in the one after getting glimpses of Alex and Lauren in the previous story but ultimately I found myself not connecting to either character as much as I thought I might. I ​found the between bits (fanfic, chats, etc) more interesting to read in this one and liked that there was less focus on the Gates show.
I found Alex exhausting and Lauren quite boring but did feel they were a match, just not one that held my interest. These are just the people that they are, Alex is kind and impulsive, diving head first and giving his all without thinking anything through which can be endearing (for Lauren it is!) or it could be just too much (for me). Part of my dislike for Lauren is probably my own bias because she's fine and I'm all for people being loved for who they are but she just didn't seem to have much going on for herself. Figuring out her career future and having one friend outside of Alex? I don't feel like I learned very much about her as a person outside of her relationship with Alex, the 1 friend she has who she talks to about Alex, and her negative relationship with her cousin. She didn't seem fully formed where I felt I learned quite a bit about Alex both from this story and the previous.
Steam level - Less than the previous but open door, descriptive. (No pegging described - only mentioning because he mentions at least being curious about it in the previous story).
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
