a Rafflecopter giveawaySynopsis: College freshman Liv is more than just a fangirl: The Starveil movies are her life… So, when her favorite character, Captain Matt Spartan, is killed off at the end of the last movie, Liv Just. Can’t. Deal.
Tired of sitting in her room sobbing, Liv decides to launch an online campaign to bring her beloved hero back to life. With the help of her best friend, Xander, actor and steampunk cosplayer extraordinaire, she creates #SpartanSurvived, a campaign to ignite the fandom. But as her online life succeeds beyond her wildest dreams, Liv is forced to balance that with the pressures of school, her mother’s disapproval, and her (mostly nonexistent and entirely traumatic) romantic life. A trip to DragonCon with Xander might be exactly what she needs to figure out what she really wants.
My Review
I felt like All the Feels was written specifically for me. I loved it!
Are you a part of a fandom? Do you consider yourself a fangirl of some degree? Do you have that tv show that you just can't stop watching? Do you feel intense feels when reading your favorite book or watching your favorite movie? If you answered yes to any of those questions then this book is for you! The chapter titles are even quotes from all of your favorite fandoms!

Liv is part of the Starveil fandom. It is her passion. It is her inspiration. It is also what got her in trouble with her mother when her grades suffered because of it. Liv is a wonderful relatable character. She is sweet and shy and passionate. Her best friend, really only friend IRL, Xander, is very unique. He is always dressed in cosplay and the sweetest gentleman a girl could ask for, not to mention cute and so much fun! Everyone will want to meet these two characters.
The plot of All the Feels, although predictable for me, was a wonderful adventure. We get to see Liv grow as a person and we get to read about someone's first time at a big con. It was wonderful. It was almost like the feelings and things that happened to Liv were somehow magically transported from my mind into the book. I feel like the author really captured the spirit of fandom.
All the Feels is adorable and fun. It would make a wonderful summer read. Don't miss out!
