It’s really hard to express just how much I love Spoiler Alert. I’ve never felt more seen than I did reading April’s story. I’ve never met a book that brought as wonderful a feeling of catharsis as Spoiler Alert. As much social commentary as romantic comedy, this one deserves a spot on your favourites shelf! Read Full Review > With flawed, complex characters that leap straight off the page and into your heart, Spoiler Alert is a love letter to fiction, fandom and fatness. This representation will mean so much to so many people (I know it did a lot to me) and I hope that everyone falls head over heels in love with April, just like Marcus does. It’s not the size of your body but the size of your heart that matters. It’s a powerful message, showing that yes, fat women are desired, they are loved, they are worthy of getting their happily ever after. It’s just another adjective describing the brilliant woman that is April Whittier. There is no condescension between these pages instead, we are regaled with a fierce protagonist who is smart, quick-witted, gorgeous and fat. the illuminating commentary Dade offers on the fatphobic society we live in was compulsive to read about. But the both of them struggle with bigger issues. Marcus and April have sizzling chemistry and their banter is as funny as their flirting is enticing. There’s so much to love about this book but my favourite part was how this was equally a romantic comedy giving you all the second-hand embarrassment and fluff while also addressing real social issues. You want a book that’s funny? A book that will make you cry because it’s so relatable? A book that will make you swoon, fan your face during saucy scenes, and then some? And above all, a book that is a love letter to fandoms and fanfiction and to being a nerd? Well, look no further, my friends, because Spoiler Alert has got it all.
