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.
