All the Feels had all the makings of a top-tier romance with many of the tropes that I love. Slowburn, enemies to lovers, romantic comedy. Unfortunately, I found both characters to be unlikeable, especially Alex. I just can't get over the way that Alex talked to Lauren. It wasn't funny. Though I appreciate the author building a career out of featuring plus-sized heroines, I have struggled with her portrayal. I don't come away feeling empowered or hold the relationship between the hero and heroine in high regard. Unfortunately a miss for me.

Soooo...I don't want to be negative, but this book wasn't for me. I know I should have love it since it had it all: forced proximity, slow burn, second chance, plus size representation, and workplace romance. But none of these kept my interest because I truly did not like the male main character. I found him a bit boring and untasteful. I just could not support this love interest.

There are a lot of things to love about Alex and Lauren. But let's be honest most of the love is for Alex. He popped as a character in Spoiler Alert and again in his own book.

I love his ridiculousness, golden retriever energy, and emotional vulnerability 10/10. The romance with Lauren felt a little rushed and the plot machinations were only so-so. But Alex has my heart so 4/5.

I really enjoyed this book. I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers and this was a good one, although it's a little more misunderstanding than true malice. Alex is a great book boyfriend, and his love of birds and sensitive side are an awesome contrast to his bad boy reputation. My biggest problem with the book is how different Lauren is portrayed on the cover verses her physical description.

Cute read and enjoyable. I love how Olivia Dade portrays famous stars as ordinary people who fall for ordinary people. I also love how her characters are of various ethnicities and sizes. I actually liked this story better than Spoiler Alert as the characters are more developed and relatable.

thank you Netgalley for the advance copy.

I loved the first book in the series! I thought this would be an automatic love - I was wrong 😞

This book ended up being a DNF. My rating is based solely on the content I read. I found the development of the story not engaging enough to finish the book.

I loved the first book in this series so much! This one wasn’t as good for me. I didn’t really enjoy either one of the main characters and wasn’t caught up in their story.

I really loved the first in this series and was really excited to read this follow-up. I love books that feature fat characters and this one did it really well. It was a good read, but nothing really special. It's probably not one I'll re-read again and again. But I did enjoy it.

All the Feels by Olivia Dade is the follow up novel to Spoiler Alert and features a new couple and one of my favorite characters from the book, Alex Woodroe. I read this one back in March, but am just now getting a chance to share my thoughts on the book. I devoured it in just a few days. The humor, the romance, and the emotional upheaval it wreaked on my heart is unparalleled. I fell in love with Alex and empathized with Lauren as a fellow curvy girl. Fans of heartfelt romantic comedies are sure to be pleased with this one.

We first met Alex in Spoiler Alert as the self-proclaimed best friend of Marcus. He’s known as a playboy, charming and oozing sex appeal. However there is a side to Alex that few see. He’s caring, empathetic, and loves deeply. What truly endeared him to me is his ADHD. Dade does a fantastic job of writing a true to life character with Alex: his struggles with ADHD, how his mind jumps from one thing to the next in no real order, how easily he becomes frustrated, and how he can be slightly obsessive with protecting his loved ones (related to a traumatic childhood experience that drives a lot of what his character does).

Lauren is slightly harder to like, but easy for me to empathize with. She’s an ER therapist, loves what she does and is very good at it. BUT she’s hit burnout. Too many long hours and not enough time to decompress has left her with few options. She’s resigned from her job and trying to decide what to do next in her life when her cousin (who is a douche canoe) offers her a job babysitting Alex who has gotten himself in hot water after a bar fight. Lauren feels she has no choice but to accept (been there!). I love her dynamic with Alex. It doesn’t take her long to figure out that Alex has his own demons, and she takes it upon herself to help him exorcise them.

Overall, I loved All the Feels. As the title suggests, it gave me all the feels from laughing to crying to heartwarming to heartbreak. I loved returning to the same world as Spoiler Alert as well. The cast of characters are familiar, and we get to see them through a new set of eyes. I loved the dual perspective as it helped me like Alex (not sure if I would’ve if I’d only had Lauren’s perspective). Highly recommend for fans of romance.

I love Olivia Dade with all my hearts and any book she releases I will read. I loved Alex and Lauren, their dynamic and relationship was so heartwarming. It was also fun having the cameos from the first book every once in awhile. Overal lovely book and I can't wait for the next one.

I love to see plus size representation in books and that's mostly why I picked this up! It was a good read, didn't make me feel anything though which is why I'm giving 3 stars. Not a bad rating. I didn't absolutely love it but I didn't hate it either. Will be picking up more from the author.

This book was so great. I really loved how the main characters connected, and can't wait to read more in this series.

This book ended up being a DNF. Rating is based solely on the content I did read. I ultimately found the pacing and development of the story and/or characters not engaging enough to continue on and finish the complete book. Chose not to continue on with series with this book

This was such a cute book! It is the second in a series, but can be read as a stand-alone. I really loved the chemistry between the two characters in this book and the body positivity. If you’re looking for a good romance read, I recommend checking this one out!

This book meant a lot to me because of the representation and body diversity it portrayed. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and have been so excited to see all the great and positive attention it has received from reviews. Here's to more books with more diversity, making people of all backgrounds feel seen and heard.

The couple's dynamic in this one didn't work for me at all. I just can't root for the couple in this one. I understand that Alex is a "delightful asshole" but to me, he just seems like an immature man-child. I don't know how I can want Lauren and Alex together when he's so derisive from the beginning. He clearly doesn't find her attractive at all, constantly commenting on how bird-like she is and how her eyes are the only halfway decent thing about her. I love a plus-sized heroine, but I love it even more when she gets a love interest that truly finds her beautiful and sexy, and smart. Lauren deserves better than Alex. Don't readers deserve to see a plus-sized heroine whose love interest is attracted to her? You can do enemies to lovers ( and I wouldn't honestly call this book enemies to lovers, just strangers to lovers) without attacking the heroine all the time.

What an amazing follow up to Spoiler Alert! Olivia Dade’s commitment to and knowledge of fandom is so evident, and I love seeing plus size rep in romance.

Ever since I finished Spoiler Alert, I was excited for Dade to write more in this universe. All the Feels did not disappoint and I absolutely loved Alex and Lauren's story!

I found the writing style a bit difficult for me to get into at the beginning but it definitely took some getting used to before I really drove into the story. That being said, not sure if it's because I'm a fat, this book just didn't resonate with me. I love me some great banter but when it's demeaning, probably a little too demeaning, it's like we got to end it somewhere. Happy to see the toned down fanfic though!

I’ve read all of her other books and loved them and this one was no exception! I loved the characters and the story line! I just couldn’t get enough I highly recommend
