From the moment Spencer James and Olivia Baker locked eyes, something unspoken and unstoppable began to stir between them, an attraction neither of them wanted, yet neither could escape. Bound by rules, loyalty, and the fear of tearing their world apart, they try to bury the spark. But every stolen glance and quiet moment draws them closer, until resisting becomes impossible. Now, caught between a love that feels fated and the consequences that could destroy everything they care about, Spencer and Olivia must decide how much they're willing to risk... and whether some hearts were meant to break the rules.

I have a collection of thoughts about the overall development and writing of Spelivia's relationship on the series All American (CW and Netflix) that I want to express in a more organized format. Spencer and Olivia had a promising and delicious slow burn from their very first interaction. The audience who rooted for them through every trial and tribulation (there were many) on and off for 7 years had to sit through tons of ~interesting writing choices when it came to the Spelivia relationship. The show, though now on its 8th season with these two characters exiting the series in season 6, still left a lot to be desired for its audience. I want to explore more of my thoughts through this series and give a voice to some of my deeper thoughts and potentially a few unpopular or controversial opinions that are harder to voice on other social media platforms. These are just my personal opinions and reflections for a ship that I am so deeply passionate about and have dedicated an extraordinary amount of brain space for the last 4ish years of my life. I think this would be a healthy way to release it and speak freely. Feel free to leave your thoughts and join me in an honest discussion about this iconic fictional new age teen ship and the writing behind it.

Scars and Vows follows Olivia and Spencer James as they navigate the raw, unfiltered trenches of love, marriage, and parenthood. Behind the picture-perfect smiles and public victories lies a story of two people fighting to protect the bond that made them who they are. From sleepless nights to the heavy weight of careers that constantly demand more, Olivia and Spencer learn that love isn't just about the highs-it's about surviving the lows together. This is a story of passion and sacrifice, of unspoken wounds and unbreakable promises. It's about the scars that shape us, the vows that bind us, and the relentless choice to stay, even when staying is the hardest thing of all. A deeply moving, intimate look into what it means to love fiercely and to be loved through the chaos, Scars and Vows reminds us that the strongest marriages aren't perfect-they're fought for.

A book written by Olivia Baker-James just a lil disclaimer: This book is purely fictional and made for entertainment! It's inspired by the characters and world of the show All American , but events, dialogue, and relationships in this version are completely from my imagination and from ChatGPT . I don't own the show, the characters, or any rights to it-just love them enough to write about them. This book is what I would imagine Liv would write. No harm or copyright infringement intended 💛

Essence, is about a group of friends who navigate their way to their college life. When they first meet each other on the first day of moving in, they expect that this will be a smooth year as collage freshmen, but what they find out later is that it's not going to be so smooth. With this story, I integrated All American and All American homecoming so I can make this more enjoyable than my other books. This book has romance, drama, and so many twists and so much more to come. Please expect slow chapters because I'm going off to college soon, and I'm not going to have enough time to write chapters so often. I hope you all enjoy this chapter book! Love, Laylaphi2.
