In many ways this is a traditional, run of the mill sort of YA romance. I think people who liked Booksmart will also really like this– it’s almost Booksmart if Beanie Feldstein and Molly Gordon’s characters made out a bit. I like the concept and the idea behind all of this, but found the actual execution and writing to be lackluster and oddly hollow. I will recommend this to other queer teenagers in my life, but it was not for me.

This was such a funny, wild ride of a single night of shenanigans for a rule follower and her rule breaker nemesis. These two characters were witty and have undeniable chemistry from the jump of the story. While I did enjoy the story overall, there were a few lulls here and there and a bit of repetition that could have been left out. I would still recommend checking this one out for a fun, summery story that shows just how much can happen in one night.

This book was cute. I had a hard time getting into it at first, but by the end I was invested. I really liked all the little side adventures, especially the one in the roller rink. If you are a high school senior I think this would be an especially fun read, I am a freshman in college and I still enjoyed it even though I didn’t personally relate. If you love enemies to lovers, and small town adventures, check this book out. I would give it a solid 3.5 stars, I will definitely buy it once it comes out.

This book was so cute. I loved the cover and I felt the story matched its cuteness. It was nice to watch two people hang out for a night and see all their former misconceptions of each other fall away. The story lagged at certain points and almost no one has that much happen in one night but I still liked the story and felt it was a fun ride. It would have been nice to watch their connection unfold over time. It was a fun read I would tell others to check out.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc

This is an enjoyable book about graduating, moving on, and a personal journey for two high school seniors-slacker Tara and perfectionist Autumn, a quest for a fake ID, a poetry reading, and an English paper that takes them to a coffee shop. Prom, several libraries, a closed roller rink, a few parties,a seance and the Atlantic Ocean. Told with alternating POV, the reader’s journey follows the characters and is deeply enjoyable, and the ending, very rewarding. Like most LGBT YA romances, this is as clean as a romance gets, with a lot of building relationships and connections before even a kiss. This is a clean, sweet. enjoyable book for teens-or adults who remember what it was like to be 18 and have everyone telling you your life was about to begin…and being unsure about what was going to happen next.

For this one, I know that I read it, but I really have no memory of doing so. It just didn't stick out to me so I can't say anything definitive about it.

I feel like I read a lot of books in which the 2 leads seem each read like every other character in books like these, but in this book’s case, that was overshadowed by a good story and character developments that made everyone seem multidimensional. I loved how the story was told, and the various antics and adventures that ensued. This was a cute book, and I’m glad I read it.

Before I get into my review of “All-Nighter”, I’d like to thank NetGalley and Quill Tree Books for the ARC!
I truly loved this book so much, the chaotic and fun nature of this book had me feeling the teenage spirit! I fell in love with all of the characters and all the crazy adventures that followed them.
I gave this book 5 stars and I’ve already recommended it to so many friends!

This was so cute! I flew through this story, it was immediately captivating. It had so many great things! Enemies to lovers, great tension between characters, and oh so much character development. 

Autumn and Tara have been school enemies since Tara showed up at Autumn's school two years ago. They don't get along, they don't like each other, and they can't have a single conversation without bickering. Autumn is a rule-follower and Tara is a rule-breaker. When Autumn suddenly finds herself in need of a fake ID, she reluctantly seeks out Tara for help, but Tara doesn't have time for this, she has an essay due at 7am and if it isn't done she won't graduate. The two strike a bargain that leads them on a quest of epic portions. 

I absolutely devoured this, it was reminiscent of an early 2000's romcom movie and I was here for it. It balanced its fun comedic moments with a serious look into how we feel others see us and how we see ourselves. I absolutely loved seeing both of these characters have realizations about themselves through the course of their shenanigans. This one hit me in the feels and was just a great time. 

Absolutely recommend you pick up if you want a fun sapphic read that will keep you turning the pages. Thank you to the publisher for providing an ALC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

4.5 Stars rounded up to 5

Cecilia Vinesse’s All-Nighter is a tender and nostalgic exploration of friendship, love, and the bittersweet beauty of endings and new beginnings. Set over the course of one unforgettable night, Vinesse captures the raw emotions of growing up through witty dialogue, heartfelt moments, and a cast of deeply relatable characters. A perfect read for fans of coming-of-age stories filled with laughter, tears, and the magic of fleeting hours.

Fun, sassy and witty. A young adult novel that’ll keep you reading until the end of the party!

When archnemeses put their differences aside to beat the clock before morning, they share an adventure neither expected. Author Cecilia Vinesse’s All-Nighter shakes up expectations and labels in this night-long race - one has one last chance to graduate and the other is avoiding being pigeon holed into a role she never asked for. But can the two put aside their differences long enough to succeed?

I recommend this book to those who enjoy contemporary, young adult novels. This is a fun summer read. Add it to your list!

Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins for the ARC. Opinions are my own.

I am so confused. I don’t think the main characters really had a chemistry and it’s weird to me that in the course of a few hours they went from hating each other to dating. It just wasn’t believable and the chemistry wasn’t there. There was so much happening in this book it just felt wildly crazy and really was disengaging.

This book was an absolute blast to read! I'm a sucker for a good "X Hours to Save the World" moment, and All-Nighter delivers a really refreshing, delightfully geeky take that will be relatable to any reader who has just wanted to get the girl. Heartwarming and often funny, the underpinning is also reflective and thoughtful, and Vinesse develops characters you want to root for. The dual POV added a layer of depth I appreciated, allowing me to see events unfold from different perspective and keeping the abbreviated timeline of the book moving forward. Also, just as a nerdy library associate myself, I appreciate the Nerdy Library Worker rep in this book. A sweet sapphic symphony with music references that will get you searching Spotify.

Full disclosure, I loved this one so much I provided a blurb. Definitely worth a read, or a purchase for your public- or high school library shelf!

This is a very unfortunate DNF at about 25% for me, and I'm so upset that it is. I really loved The Girl Next Door and so I was very excited to read this one and even more excited to have an ARC of it but it just isn't working for me. I'm not loving the main characters, Autumn and Tara, while they might work for someone else, they slightly annoy me for a reason I can't quite put my finger on. The reason they're enemies is a little shallow, and it seems to be a spat they could work out in 5 minutes if they said more than a few words to eachother (which I'm sure they will if I had continued with the story so I can't gripe too much about this). And the writing in general is not my favorite, I honestly can't remember if this was a thing in The girl next door or if it maybe just didn't bother me as much but it's a bit much on the teenage slang and pop culture refs. I really wish that this had clicked for me because I hate to DNF it and maybe I'll come back and try it again in the future but for now this wasn't for me. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC and I hope this works out better for others than it did for me. I'll still be interested to see what Cecilia Vinesse releases in the future regardless.

I really enjoyed the enemies to lovers element in this story and thought it was a fun concept overall. The characters were everything that I was hoping for and worked with the setting of the story. It was everything that was promised and glad I got to read this. Cecilia Vinesse has a great writing style and left me wanting more like this.
