For fans of enemies to lovers, snarky heroes, and pegging.
For the second installment of the Spoiler Alert series, we focus on Alex and his “babysitter,” Lauren. We start off after Alex gets into an altercation at a bar, causing the show Gods of the Gates producers to decide he needs a babysitter.
As Lauren becomes Alex’s shadow, it becomes apparent that Alex has personal demons, and her observation of Alex doesn’t prevent the struggles with understanding him. Lauren and Alex try to understand each other, leading to numerous misunderstandings between them. While these two go through the motions, they don’t realize their growing feelings for each other.
First off, Alex is a precious bean that deserves the world. Second, Lauren really deserves better.
Lauren is an interesting character in which she is trying to practice a form of self-care only for her family to take advantage of her time. Whereas Alex is taken advantage of by Hollywood and his own fans. These two characters find comfort in each other while working through their personal demons without being too melodramatic.
For me, these two spend more time on their personal demons rather than mooning over each other. Which, for me, was so frustrating. These two were so busy psychoanalyzing each other that there were so few scenes of them as a couple.
