I enjoyed Spoiler Alert enough to try this one. In my opinion it’s a little too slow, not enough smut. But, this authors talent is really writing characters and quick witty lines. I laughed out loud a lot and was invested in the characters.

All the Feels by Olivia Dade tells the story of two individuals who are more than their appearances and societal labels. Alex appears to have it all - wealth, fame, talent - but he navigates the world with ADHD. His good intentions and desire to protect people land him in some hot water and Lauren becomes his minder. Unconventional looking by impossible entertainment industry standards, Lauren struggles with being heard by the world, especially her family, and the challenges of navigating a world designed for thin people. As they spend time together, Lauren realizes how smart and kind Alex is, and Alex recognizes that Lauren experiences self-doubt in ways that mirror his own life. Both characters are on a journey to discover their next chapter after Alex has a PR disaster and Lauren burns out from her health care job. Together, they build a relationship and work toward a fulfilling life absent the approval of others. The story touches upon themes of self-esteem, the destructive pressure to appear "perfect," abuse within families, and silencing those foolish voices in our heads. Readers will love the opposites attract/only one-bed tropes.
Moderate: Body shaming, Bullying, Emotional abuse, Fatphobia, Toxic relationship, Gaslighting, and Abandonment
