Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade
4.0

This was a great read! Parts of it felt a little pointed re: GOT similarities. BUT! I really loved both characters, I really loved the part where each of them realized the damage their parents had done to them (in the name of love but still hurtful) and were able to set boundaries. There was a little bit of groaning about keeping things secret but the characters were able to recognize that it was harmful pretty quickly. I loved the fat acceptance thread that wound through it and the calling out of the assumptions and "helpful" comments that are really hurtful. And I enjoyed the snippets of fan fic and movie scripts (particularly the one in which the Manic Pixie Dream Girl is ACTUALLY named Pixie and says that her name or motivations mean nothing compared to the male love interests!). Delightful reading overall.
