All The Feels by Olivia Dade
5.0

Olivia Dade is one of my favorite romance authors and I was so excited to receive an ARC of All the Feels! All the Feels is a heartfelt and hilarious romance. Alex is a movie star, recently in trouble for getting into a bar fight. With his producers on their last nerve, Lauren is hired to keep Alex out of trouble. Lauren is a burnt-out ER therapist and she figures that this job couldn’t possibly be harder than that. Since Alex is unable to leave Lauren’s sight, lest she lose her job, the two can’t help but get to know each other.

All the Feels is such a warm and charming book; I highly recommend you check it out! If you love fanfic tropes, this book acknowledges and plays with them in an utterly delightful way. Both Lauren and Alex are working through serious issues from their past as they get to know each other. Alex is struggling to consistently manage his ADHD while coping with trauma related to domestic abuse. This seemed very thoughtfully done. I really related to Lauren feeling burnt out in a caregiver profession, yet also wanting to do the most good with her training. All the Feels includes plus size rep, ADHD rep, and discussion of domestic abuse. You do not need to have read Spoiler Alert to read All the Feels, though I enjoyed the cameos from Marcus and the cast of Gods of the Gates.

I loved Alex and Lauren's romance and couldn't put this book down! This story is filled with witty banter and sweet moments that are guaranteed to give you all the feels. Thank you so much to Olivia Dade, Avon, and Netgalley for a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
