I loved everything about this novel!!!! I would change not one thing!

We jump into the novel with a peak of who Alex and Lauren are when they are both unknowingly at their lowest points. Throughout the novel the chemistry between these two characters is hilariously entertaining. The author did an amazing job of building the dynamics between the two characters and creating a journey of self-acceptance for both characters; all while giving us a fandom-style romance novel!

The character development was amazing. I truly felt like I was able to jump into this novel and be part of it. Such great work!

Couldn’t put it down. And it was oh-so-close to 5 stars, just a couple little extras that I had wished for, nit-picky things that I had wished for for Lauren’s character. But the story and characters were absolutely addicting.

I love a good enemies to lovers storyline. The energy and snappy banter between Alexander and Lauren were so much fun. And then the way their relations shifts and morphs and becomes a gradual arc was done so well. I love how Dade writes vulnerabilities and insecurities, with such a realistic hand. When the enmity shifts to deep revelations is my favorite parts of these romances and it was a delight to read.

And Dade doesn’t skimp on the hilarious fanfic and bad script interjections that she introduced in Spoiler Alert. They crack me up so much and create a special energy to her novels.

Again, as with book one, it has some of the things you would expect of a “Hollywood” scenario but it also manages to avoid some of the obvious cliches. Which is great! And there is serious depth to the characters. I enjoy it so much.

It’s funny, it’s sweet, it’s dramatic, it’s sexy… it’s a must read!

This book was undeniably charming. With Dade’s first book in the series, Spoiler Alert, I was instantly enticed and of course sang it’s praises. That being said the whole book I wanted to know about Lauren and Alex. All the Feels delivered, and I mean to the fullest extent. This book is so wonderful, the characters so good and whole that it feels right and just that their story is told. The displays of mental health, guilt, self worth, body positivity and so much more were incredibly well done. I, as somebody who struggles with many of these things, felt very seen by this story and Dade’s writing. This book is an absolute must read follow up hook in this series.

Alexander Woodroe has it all: looks, wealth, and fame. The only issue is that his behavior isn’t doing anything to help his career. Since he is starring in a huge tv show, the showrunners have hired someone to keep him in check the entire time he is contracted to work on the show. His babysitter is Lauren Clegg. She is a former ER therapist and after her cousin offers to pay for her apartment and salary she takes up the job of being Alex’s babysitter. She is to keep him in line and make sure he doesn’t let his explosive emotions land him in trouble with the tabloids and public more than they already have. However another scandal lands in Alex’s lap and this time its going to cost Lauren her job. Now they have to go on a road trip up the California coast together and Alex has to find a way to make Lauren fall in love with him the way he’s fallen for her.

This story revolves around characters from the previous book Spoiler Alert, though you can read it without having read the other one. I absolutely adored Spoiler Alert and unfortunately this one did not work out for me. I didn’t enjoy the characters or story as much as I had with Spoiler Alert. Their relationship seemed a bit force and I couldn’t find the chemistry between them. My real issue was Alex. I didn’t like him even though I had enjoyed his character in spoiler alert. Alex came off as rude, childish, and the first thing he says to Lauren when seeing her is that she reminds him of a bird and that she is ridiculous. They did have a lot of chemistry in Spoiler Alert so when reading this one I was surprised by how much it was lacking. I forced myself to finish this book and was just happy I managed to make it to the end. Overall, maybe this one just wasn’t for me but I definitely loved the first book. I’ll definitely be reading more stuff from this author and maybe the next one will be for me. Definitely give it a try because maybe this one will work for you!

Right off the bat: I absolutely loved this book. As someone who's been reading fanfic for as long as they can remember, it can sometimes feel a little bit cringey to read books about fanfic or fanfic writers. But the way Dade writes about things like tropes, beta readers, etc, there is this level of love for the thing that I really appreciate. I love the sunshine/grump dynamic and adored this relationship. Getting to see where their relationship built in a timeline concurrently running with Spoiler Alert's plot was also something that was unique, but much appreciated as we got to see more insight into what they were both thinking during those events.

Follow up to Spoiler Alert, you'll meet Alex and Lauren and this unlikely pairing.
It was a fun read but for some reason felt way more unlikely than Spoiler Alert.

THIS is the Olivia Dade I know and love. Another fantastic sexy romance with a fat female lead. I loved revisiting these characters, who are so well fleshed out, and I love the US cover (even if it makes Lauren look utterly gorgeous when she is so often described as ugly and beak-nosed!)

I really wanted to like this movie, between the plus size heroine, the fanfiction aspect and loving the first book in the series I thought I would love it, but unfortunately I really didn’t. I can understand how some people might find Alex amusing and cute but I just found him obnoxious all the time. I know that his ADHD plays a part of his characterization but honestly he just came off as obnoxious and annoying all the time. I liked the characterization of Lauren but just kept thinking that I wouldn’t want her with a guy like Alex.

All The Feels focuses on Marcus's [the male MC from Spoiler Alert] best friend and co-star Alexander Woodroe, and his minder- Lauren Clegg. The first 50% or so takes place concurrent with Spoiler Alert which I enjoyed since I LOVED that book too.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗴𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗦𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗽𝗲𝗴𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴.
And possibly the best alternate version of "And they lived happily ever after" EVER.

I PRE-ORDERED SO FAST. This book made me mad at my real job for eating into my reading time. Those are my favorite kinds of books.

After reading this book, I can safely say that Spoiler Alert has been over-taken. What a sweet, spicy story about acceptance in all its forms.

Read this book if you like fan fiction, witty banter, and a ONE BED TROPE.

Alex is a charming actor in God of the Gates that got ~in trouble~ with the show runners and Lauren, a burnt out ER therapist, gets asked to accompany him everywhere as a babysitter to keep him in line.

This book is so witty and has amazing banter. I loved Lauren and Alex so so much. I really related to Lauren way more than I have ever related to someone in a book and I feel like I had a little epiphany with it.

The characters developed well. There was great communication and honesty between Lauren and Alex that I really appreciated.

It's always refreshing to read about a plus-sized heroine, but I was thrilled that Olivia Dade went the extra mile and made Lauren even more awkward looking--with thin limbs and a big nose--to the point that Alex notes that she looks like a bird. I loved this! It's so common to read about beautiful women falling for plain or even ugly men in romance and I'm desperate to read about beautiful men falling for plain or even ugly women.
I enjoyed this book even more than Spoiler Alert. Alex's tightly hidden pain and Lauren's quiet submissiveness/strength really got to me. Watching the two of them open up and become friends and then lovers was wonderful to witness.
Honestly, though, I thought the overall book was a little too long. I think a little paring down would make this a truly fantastic stand-out contemporary romance.

Olivia Dade's "All the Feels" was a delightful love story between a Hollywood star and a down-to-Earth ER therapist. I loved Dade's characters, especially Alex and his story line of having ADHD. Knowing adults who suffer from ADHD and take medicine to control it I was delighted to see this aspect of her character.

Dade's story was thought-provoking and charming. However, my interest in Alex and Lauren (Wren)"s story began to wane once they embarked on their roadtrip. The two halves of the book didn't flow, in my opinion. That being said, I really did enjoy Dade's character development and the story arc as a whole.

Olivia does it again! Definitely a feel good novel that had me laughing, crying, and rooting to the very end. Add to your TBR list, you wont regret it.

Olivia Dade came through with all the feels, as promised! I thoroughly enjoyed the witty banter between Alex and Lauren, as well as the believable increase of Lauren's confidence in herself.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

For me, the highlight of Spoiler Alert was any scene that involved Alex, so I was incredibly excited to see that he was getting his own book and it definitely did not disappoint!

In the first book Alex’s character added a lot of comedic relief and while we still get that same golden retriever energy in All the Feels, it was also nice to see a softer/more vulnerable side to his character and to learn more about his past.

What I loved about Lauren was how sweet she was and how much she truly just loved and embraced herself! She still had some insecurities from her past, but Alex had his own share of insecurities to overcome, so it was rewarding to see them kind of crack each other out of their shells and allow themselves to fall in love.

This book still has the same humor that Spoiler Alert has and it was definitely a slow burn romance, but it was absolutely worth it, because the chemistry between these two was just >>> SO GOOD!!

All the Feels absolutely gave me all the feels and I can’t wait to add this gem to my physical book shelf as well! 4.5/5 stars! ⭐️

Alex Woodrow is a hot-shot actor that has a leading role in the current hottest TV show. He would appear to have it all. He is rich, famous, and HOT! Sadly, Alex cannot seem to stay out of trouble. In the most recent negative tabloid article, the star is reported to have been in a bar fight. The executives of the show have hired Lauren Clegg to babysit him and keep him in line 24/7. As in, go where he goes, and even live with him. This should keep Alex out of trouble, right?

Let me start with what I had the most problem with in this book. Lauren. I did not have a problem with the character. Actually I really liked her! No-nonsense, self proclaimed Harpy, and didn't care what anyone said about her. with a dash of nerdiness. I just didn't like the way that she was constantly described. Ok, so I get that the entire premise of this book was that the Hollywood star could fall for the unconventional looking girl, but it was just irritating having to read about her "round belly" in every scene that described her body. It just seemed so...unnecessary? Other than that, I loved her. She had a hard exterior likely due to her years working in the ER as a therapist and from being the victim of bullying for most her life from certain family members. She has one close friend that is a fellow self proclaimed harpy and shrew and other than that, she leads a very lonely life.

That being said, this was a very easy and cute read. Thank you Netgalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for this free eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Alexander Woodroe is a famous actor on the TV show Gods of the Gates. The showrunner thinks that Alex is out of control and is creating too much bad publicity, so he hires Lauren Clegg to be his watch over him and prevent him from getting into trouble. Lauren Clegg used to work as an ER therapist before she burned out at her job, and she is determined to maintain a professional relationship with Alex. Lauren and Alex grow close as they spend so much time together, and Lauren beings to see that Alex is not as wild as people make him out to be. Alex is intensely loyal to the people he cares about, and he is willing to put everything on the line when standing up for his beliefs. Lauren must decide if pursuing a relationship with Alex is worth it if she is the thing standing in the way of his career.

I loved the vulnerability of Alex and the strength of Lauren. The numerous references to fandom and fanfiction were great, and fanfiction fans will really appreciate it. I think Dade did a great job of showing the different layers of Alex. The chemistry between Alex and Lauren was undeniable. Although this is second in the Spoiler Alert series, it can be read as a standalone. Fans of Helen Hoang will love this book.

I LOVED the first half of the book, the fun banter between Lauren and Alex was so cute and the premise for following him around was something I have never read before. But, the second half kind of dragged for me, they were doing a lot of introspection and working on themselves which is great but I just didn’t care and wanted more of them when they actually got together

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Olivia Dade makes another good rom-com! All the Feels has one bed trope, friends to lovers, fan-fiction, self discovery, and slow burn romance. I read Spoiler Alert right before starting this and I would recommend reading it before because characters show up again.

No spoilers because this book is to be published October 26th 2021!
