Summary
A delightfully fun romantic comedy set in the world of fanfiction， in which a devoted fan goes on an unexpected date with her celebrity crush， who's secretly posting fanfiction of his own。 With romance， amazing chemistry， fandom， and body positivity， Spoiler Alert is perfect for fans of Talia Hibbert and Abby Jimenez。
Marcus Caster-Rupp has a secret。 While the world knows him as Aeneas， the star of the biggest show on TV， he's known to fanfiction readers as Book！AeneasWouldNever， an anonymous and popular poster。 Through his stories， Marcus is able to get out his own frustrations with his character， especially the ones that feature the internet's favourite couple to ship， Aeneas and Lavinia。 But if anyone ever found out about his online persona， he'd be fired。 Immediately。
April Whittier has secrets of her own。 A hardcore Lavinia fan， she's hidden her fanfiction and cosplay hobby from her 'real life' for years - but not anymore。 When she decides to post her latest Lavinia creation on Twitter， her photo goes viral。 Trolls and supporters alike are commenting on her plus-size take， but when Marcus sees her pic and asks her out on a date to spite her critics， she realises life is really stranger than fanfiction。
Even though their first date is a disaster， Marcus quickly realises that he wants much more from April than a one-time publicity stunt。 And when he discovers she's actually Unapologetic Lavinia Stan， his closest fandom friend， he has one more huge secret to hide from her。
With love and Marcus's career on the line， can the two of them stop hiding once and for all， or will a match made in fandom end up prematurely cancelled？

I really enjoyed this story。 It was heart warming and sweet。 Also， as a plus size girl myself， I felt emotional on a few scenes。 And appreciated the way certain things were worded and expressed。 Only others who， have been chubby their whole life， can understand the feeling of having to overcome what everyone else and society thinks and says is beauty， to be able to accept yourself as you are。 And I love the contrast of Marcus' own self doubt。 Even though he is physically beautiful， at society's I really enjoyed this story。 It was heart warming and sweet。 Also， as a plus size girl myself， I felt emotional on a few scenes。 And appreciated the way certain things were worded and expressed。 Only others who， have been chubby their whole life， can understand the feeling of having to overcome what everyone else and society thinks and says is beauty， to be able to accept yourself as you are。 And I love the contrast of Marcus' own self doubt。 Even though he is physically beautiful， at society's standards， he also has insecurities in other aspects of himself。 I love the way this was written， in both POVs and with little snippets of fan-fics and screenplays。 I am definitely looking forward to Alex's book。 。。。more

*3。5 stars， rounded upI enjoyed some aspects of this book a lot， and others I didn't so much。 I think the fandom representation was wonderful - and the casual way writing and talking about fanfic was written was so refreshing， as in some ways it can still be sort of a shameful， taboo thing （in some circles）。 The characters were good and had depth， but I suppose I wonder if this story wasn't trying to do too much at once。 Like I said， I enjoyed the story and it was definitely a good read， but I c *3。5 stars， rounded upI enjoyed some aspects of this book a lot， and others I didn't so much。 I think the fandom representation was wonderful - and the casual way writing and talking about fanfic was written was so refreshing， as in some ways it can still be sort of a shameful， taboo thing （in some circles）。 The characters were good and had depth， but I suppose I wonder if this story wasn't trying to do too much at once。 Like I said， I enjoyed the story and it was definitely a good read， but I can't help but think it felt a little busy。 If you're going into this expecting it to be simple， it definitely isn't。 。。。more

It only took me like a month but I finished it！！ I have a lot of mixed feelings surrounding this book。 It tackled such hard topics with a care and thoughtfulness I truly have never seen。 It really made me think abt my own behavior （？） Made me realize hey maybe I shouldn't do that there r other ways to go abt doing things ya know。 For example，， active listening！！ I need to be better at that！ Like there was one part where Marcus was opening up to April and she was talking abt how she could be thin It only took me like a month but I finished it！！ I have a lot of mixed feelings surrounding this book。 It tackled such hard topics with a care and thoughtfulness I truly have never seen。 It really made me think abt my own behavior （？） Made me realize hey maybe I shouldn't do that there r other ways to go abt doing things ya know。 For example，， active listening！！ I need to be better at that！ Like there was one part where Marcus was opening up to April and she was talking abt how she could be thinking abt different ways to defend herself/ respond but she recognized in that moment that she needed to give him his full attention while he was being so vulnerable。 I do that a lot lowkey think it's a defense- mechanism but hey we're human were growing and I needed that reminder to be like hey brain stop it fucken listen alright。 anywayyyyys this book is a love letter to the fan fiction community which sadly I still haven't gotten into so I felt disconnected from certain parts of the books。 Like I would skip over some of the little fanfiction stuff the author included and I felt so bad 😭。 I just wasn't interested。 lowkey felt like they were being a lil dramatic sometimes。 and the ending fell a bit flat。 I thought the epilogue was really cute tho！！ and I'm not that much of an epilogue girl。 anyways those r all my thoughts ☝️。 WAIT ALSO I LOVE ALEX SO GODDAMN MUCH！！！！ 。。。more

This was a super cute book that made me laugh out loud at certain parts。 I wish there was a wider cast in the story or that the secondary characters were more part of the action， but overall it was a fun read and I really enjoyed it！

I truly wish that I liked this more than I did。 The premise of the main character falling for the star of her favorite show who is also secretly her online best friend was really promising。 Cracking open the book and seeing that Olivia seems to poke at the MESS that was the final GOT season was another factor I really wanted to draw me in。 That being said I was never able to actually FEEL anything for these characters。 It wasn't that they lacked things that should make them interesting， it's jus I truly wish that I liked this more than I did。 The premise of the main character falling for the star of her favorite show who is also secretly her online best friend was really promising。 Cracking open the book and seeing that Olivia seems to poke at the MESS that was the final GOT season was another factor I really wanted to draw me in。 That being said I was never able to actually FEEL anything for these characters。 It wasn't that they lacked things that should make them interesting， it's just something about the way they were written， the way they interacted， etc that I just felt disconnected from。 Speaking of disconnection， I feel like the excerpts from the fanfics were kind of disconnected and didn't do much to drive the story。。。 Not to mention the lack of differentiation between different authors。 It was very hard to believe that these characters were close to 40 there was something a little juvenile about their characterizations。 I'm sad。 I wanted to love this but it was just。。。。 fine 。。。more

I’ve been reading a lot of romcoms lately and holy moly does representation matter。 I’ve enjoyed so so many of the romcoms I’ve read recently but I didn’t realize how much I need to read one that had a fat main character！ Until I read a story that affirmed my identity I didn’t realize the negative toll of solely reading stories I didn’t see myself reflected in。 This was a wonderful， fun， and meaningful dive into so many topics that hold a special place in my heart; fandoms， fanfiction， meaningfu I’ve been reading a lot of romcoms lately and holy moly does representation matter。 I’ve enjoyed so so many of the romcoms I’ve read recently but I didn’t realize how much I need to read one that had a fat main character！ Until I read a story that affirmed my identity I didn’t realize the negative toll of solely reading stories I didn’t see myself reflected in。 This was a wonderful， fun， and meaningful dive into so many topics that hold a special place in my heart; fandoms， fanfiction， meaningful internet friendships， cons （I met my fiancé at ComicCon）， fat positivity， navigating relationships with people close to you who are fatphobic， dyslexia， self acceptance， etc。 Plus it had some STEAMY scenes too 😂 Olivia Dade has found a new loyal fan！！！ 。。。more

Fuck Fatphobia！This was a fun， nerdy rom com page turner filled with FanFic love and side eye at Hollywood tropes （looking at you Manic Pixie Dream Girl）。 It pointed a wagging finger at Game of Thrones and how the show went catastrophically downhill once it outpaced the books （which I enjoyed！）。An easy， steamy， fun read for a long weekend。

Solid 3。5 stars。 Liked it。 It may be a weird review for a genre I mostly enjoy as escapist fantasy， but sometimes the characters just didn't feel real， they acted and spoke a little too much the way you wished people were rather than the way people are。 Kinda like watching a sitcom。 It was fun and quirky， but it always felt a little too neat and tidy。 Solid 3。5 stars。 Liked it。 It may be a weird review for a genre I mostly enjoy as escapist fantasy， but sometimes the characters just didn't feel real， they acted and spoke a little too much the way you wished people were rather than the way people are。 Kinda like watching a sitcom。 It was fun and quirky， but it always felt a little too neat and tidy。 。。。more

I may never have read any fanfic in my life， but I’m a definite fan of this book。 Marcus is amazing。 Sometimes insecure but so intentional and kind - yes consent always。 And April is a great mixture of soft and tough too。 The way they stand together and apart is phenomenal。 Even when I had to google some contextual clues （pegging， lol）， it was a fast and fully enjoyable read。

Real Rating: 4。5/5 ⭐️ Holy crap！！！ How to describe a book that made me feel so seen。 I don’t know where to begin， all I do know is that reading this book forced me to think of how I have allowed others to treat me because of my weight。 I admired April and how she set her boundaries and didn’t budge， especially towards the end。 The scene of her talking to her mom about how she had been feeling gave me chills。 I know I will re-read this book just for that part。 I enjoyed Marcus and the complexity Real Rating: 4。5/5 ⭐️ Holy crap！！！ How to describe a book that made me feel so seen。 I don’t know where to begin， all I do know is that reading this book forced me to think of how I have allowed others to treat me because of my weight。 I admired April and how she set her boundaries and didn’t budge， especially towards the end。 The scene of her talking to her mom about how she had been feeling gave me chills。 I know I will re-read this book just for that part。 I enjoyed Marcus and the complexity of his situation as an individual but also an actor。 The reason this book did not get 5 stars for me was because every time an excerpt of a fan fiction was put in， it took me completely out of the story。 It felt like a commercial break and I found myself tuning it all out。 Overall fantastic and I can not wait for the second book coming out later this year！ 。。。more

This was an absolute delight to read！ A clear tribute to FanFiction and the fans who created it。 Think Fangirl…but not written by a racist asshole。 Books like these make me feel proud to be a nerd ☺️

This was a book I needed in my life so bad。 The second I heard 'fat positive romance' I snatched it up， being a plus size babe myself。 I adored it so much that I've read it twice and listened to the audio once。 I did actually relate to the story a little bit but only the plus size girl being with a tall skinny dude。 My fiance is a foot taller than me and quite smaller than me。 There's no hoodie stealing。 I used to write， not fanfic but more like keyboard rpg sites。 Not really sure what they're c This was a book I needed in my life so bad。 The second I heard 'fat positive romance' I snatched it up， being a plus size babe myself。 I adored it so much that I've read it twice and listened to the audio once。 I did actually relate to the story a little bit but only the plus size girl being with a tall skinny dude。 My fiance is a foot taller than me and quite smaller than me。 There's no hoodie stealing。 I used to write， not fanfic but more like keyboard rpg sites。 Not really sure what they're called。 I would love to cosplay but not yet brave enough。 I really saw myself in April so much it was crazy。 This was a wonderful story of overcoming stereotypes and family problems。 I will keep reading this book forever。 。。。more

I honestly didn’t expect to love this book like I did。 And， really， as smutty as it was at times （I love the smut）， this book went hard on healthy emotions， setting boundaries， and communication in relationships。 I’ve never read a better depiction of setting boundaries with parents and how hard that can be。 I loved the depiction of a man who was vulnerable and recognized his need for affirmation， acceptance， love and recognizing fears。 I don’t need chiseled; I just need real vulnerability 🔥 I lo I honestly didn’t expect to love this book like I did。 And， really， as smutty as it was at times （I love the smut）， this book went hard on healthy emotions， setting boundaries， and communication in relationships。 I’ve never read a better depiction of setting boundaries with parents and how hard that can be。 I loved the depiction of a man who was vulnerable and recognized his need for affirmation， acceptance， love and recognizing fears。 I don’t need chiseled; I just need real vulnerability 🔥 I loved April as smart， intelligent and GORGEOUS。 Overall， well-done。 This will be re-read in the future for all the good feels。 。。。more
