Rezension

"With richly drawn characters you'll love to root for, Olivia Dade's books are a gem of the genre--full of humor, heart, and heat." - Kate Clayborn author of Love Lettering

"Olivia Dade perfectly captures fandom, love, and acceptance in this incredible, delightful novel. I loved every page!" - Jessie Mihalik, author of Polaris Rising

"It's a path of self-discovery, healing and growth, punctuated by scorching chemistry, whip-smart dialogue and sidesplitting humor." - Washington Post

"[A] clever, creative story...Dade handles both the fun and toxic dynamics of fandom and social media with insight and compassion. Given equal weight are Marcus and April's difficult family histories, as both work through the damage inflicted by parents who judged them to be "flawed." The result is nuanced, unflinching, and deeply romantic. Dade's fans and new readers alike will fall in love." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Sweet, steamy, and every fanfic writer's dream. This romance is such a fun take on a fan/celebrity relationship with all sorts of body positivity." - Book Riot

"With considerable empathy and a generous helping of snarky wit, Dade invites readers into the fascinating world of fan fiction while at the same time deftly addressing some serious topics-body image issues and dyslexia-within the context of a scorchingly sexy contemporary romance... a force to reckon with in the romance genre." - Booklist (starred review)

"...Dade delivers and then some. This book frolics through fields of fannish allusion and metatext... It takes a skillful writer to juggle so many elements, yet the emotional through-line shines clear and strong at every point." - New York Times Book Review

"I was engrossed from page one of Spoiler Alert until the very happy, sigh-worthy ending. Olivia Dade is consistently one of my favorite authors. Her writing is warm and witty, frequently funny and often achingly poignant." - Lucy Parker, author of Act Like It

"The journey to self-acceptance is never easy, and Dade doesn't shy away from that, but she makes it just as beautiful and gentle as the love that blooms between Marcus and April...Geek out with this romantic homage to fan culture." - Kirkus Reviews

"Spoiler Alert is a gentle, funny, and sexy romance that captivated me from the first page and kept me enthralled to the very (happy) end. I adored these characters and every moment of their journey to love. Olivia Dade has crafted an unforgettable story, one that's earned an immediate spot on my comfort-reads shelf." - Mia Sosa, USA Today bestselling author of The Worst Best Man

"Dade's book is a sparkling jolt of fangirling, body-positive swoons...." - Entertainment Weekly

"Even those new to online fanfiction will find this a charming and engrossing read. Issues of body positivity, dyslexia, and found families are among the topics addressed with sensitivity and realism. The between-chapter segments of fanfic server chats, fanfic synopsis, and truly horrible screenplays add to the fun." - Library Journal (starred review)

"Indie publishing favorite Olivia Dade's Avon debut, Spoiler Alert, is a funny and poignant triumph that defies expectation... Dade has gifted readers with a thoughtful, swoonworthy and emotionally satisfying contemporary romance that has the added benefit of a realistic, multilayered and relatable portrayal of the digital world. If you're into fan culture and practices, it will be an even greater pleasure. Loyal Olivia Dade fans and new readers alike will love it." - BookPage (starred review)

"This romantic comedy is about love, secrets and stardom - and is sure to sweep you off your feet." - CNN.com

"Spoiler Alert is a delight. April and Marcus will melt your heart." - USA Today bestselling author Jenny Holiday

"As funny as it is sexy (and boy is it sexy), Spoiler Alert is a love letter to fandom in all its many forms, and was an absolute joy from the first page to the last. Reading it felt like a hug to the heart from someone who wants you to know that you are perfect and deserve to be loved exactly as you are."

- Jen DeLuca, author of Well Met

I've struggled a lot with putting into words what this book means to me. Someone recently said to me that we read books when we a ready for them. As in: if you like the premise but can't get into it, it's not the right time for this book. A couple of times I thought: I needed this book in my teens. But that's not true. I wouldn't have been able to appreciate it and relate to it. So, reading this as an adult who has accepted and learned to appreciate their body was definitely reading it at the right time. From the first page I loved April. She is smart and brave and funny. She is not without flaws, but she knows what she wants. It felt really validating to see my own experiences represented and I had more than one "I am not alone"-moment. I've cried and chuckled while reading this. I liked the snippets of fanfiction and chats, and I think they helped digesting the tougher scenes of the story. I liked how April and Marcus both have their flaws but grow as a couple and individually throughout the story. The angst was definitely on point, and it hurt in all the good ways even though I knew there would be a happy end for them. And I really appreciate how not everything worked out perfectly in the end, that there are still some hurdles and conflicts that didn't just disappear. Spoiler Alert definitely was one of those books I didn't want to end and didn't want to stop reading. I can see myself rereading this regularly, because it just warms my heart.

As a plus-sized woman myself this book hits different. If you are plus-sized or otherwise made to feel 'less than', or you are someone who wants to learn and try to understand how life can be for plus-sized people then I'd HIGHLY recommend this book! Olivia manages to write about the thoughts, the struggles and life of a plus-sized woman in general in such a thoughtful and inclusive way. There were more than a few situations/scenes that reminded me of my own thought processes (very uncanny tbh). I LOVE that she portrayed April as an independent and clever woman. She craves love and affection but she knows her worth. She knows that she is someone - with or without partner. She has her fanfic community, she has her lovely co-workers and I enjoyed reading a book where you don't get the feeling the life of the protagonists revolves around love and their relationship ALL the time. As much as I liked it, and this will be one of my reading highlights of the year, I'm sure, I would have given 4.75 stars if there was the option. That's just because of preference, as I could have done with less explicit love scenes, and if we're beeing picky then I would have loved for Olivia to take us a tad deeper into the "working-through-things" part, when things between April and Marcus got a bit rocky. She does a good job, and it is believable/authentic but I would have loved to delve a bit deeper. But as the novel already has 400 pages, I get that some people wouldn't have liked it if it would have been even longer. All in all, a VERY good book!

Loved it!
