Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade
5.0

Spoiler alert (I am terrible I know), I'm pals with the author on Twitter and she was a panelist at the library virtual program I hosted this year, so I am a bit biased in this review. Others have also written better, more thorough reviews so please check them out!

But, for real, Spoiler Alert is a truly magnificent romance. You'll get weepy from the author's dedication and throughout, at times laughing through some misty tears and then swooning too. Dade writes such wonderfully sincere and sensitive characters, and April and Marcus are some of her best.

I'm charmed and delighted every time I imagine Marcus writing his fanfic, and mooning over his internet best friend. I'm but a casual observer of the fic communities, but this book both rewards the deeply invested fans and those like me who may be ready to jump in after reading this romance.

Plus, the secondary characters! I am so ready to hear more stories (ALEX) from these background baes.

Funny, tender, and wonderfully romantic, I loved this book so much.

Thank you to Netgalley for the advanced reading copy!
