Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade

2.0

---

Spoiler Alert is a cute light read that unfortunately failed to hook me. It took me longer than it should to read because I couldn't find a reason to back to it. The narrative alternates between the main story and chapters with fanfics, scripts or conversations in AO3 between the MCs. These last type of chapters had a lot of potential to develop some depth in the main characters' relationship but ended up being random filler (once I saw that they didn't really add anything to the plot I skipped them). As much as I appreciate the representation of different bodies (we all know how much we need it) I felt a bit uncomfortable by some of the topics raised by secondary characters. Beware of food and diet content warnings! The main story felt a bit plotless... I really didn't feel much connection there and much drama after they get together. Again, I feel their past as fanfic writers could have develop their relationship in a nice way.
