About this deal

I, however, sucked it up because of a good friend of mine told me to trust her, and frankly I was too invested . In 2013, Michael and Kit develop complications in their relationship as their sex life deteriorates. This certainly was a book that hit me hard emotionally, and made me want to hold my own husband and my own loved ones a little bit closer as soon as I finished reading it. From a certain perspective, one could see Spoiler Alert as an important landmark in LGBT/queer cinema.

Where other movies might indulge glibness or Oscar-clip force, Spoiler Alert opts for subtlety and clarity. It is obviously a very sad story and what Ausiello went through would push most people to the limit. If these were fictional characters, I'd probably be more forgiving since they'd simply exist to advance a narrative and I could say that the author was making certain choices to convey the story a certain way. If that means that I have to learn how to change a colostomy bag in 30 seconds so that shit doesn’t go all over the bathroom floor, no time to think about it.

It's wrenching to see Kit's discomfort as it grows into pain, to see Michael's helplessness at not being able to rescue the person he loves most in the world, and the growing realization that Kit is facing a death sentence, and quickly. It would be churlish and more curmudgeonly that even I am prepared to be to point out any minor flaws, since by and large this memoir delivers the goods. The film adaptation of the emotional memoir is directed by The Big Sick and The Shrink Next Door director Michael Showalter and is based on a screenplay penned by David Marshall Grant and Dan Savage. Having a deep appreciation for the games, films, and books he experienced growing up, Matt wanted to learn the inner workings of how these media pieces were made and how to make his own.

As a fan of his TV reporting and after reading positive reviews for this book, I unfortunately came away from the experience unmoved and uninterested. Michael apologizes to Kit for not letting him know how beautiful he was due to his fears of being left for a more attractive man. Entertainment reporter Michael Ausiello has enjoyed immense success in his professional life, progressing from writing at a soaps magazine to Entertainment Weekly and TV Guide to his current job as co-founder at TVLine. It's painful and sad to read, but there are definitely humorous parts interspersed within as well (thank goodness).

In the meantime, you’ll just have to head out to a theater or wait for it to become available on digital. Yes, this book is indescribably sad, however, it is a beautiful story of dedication, tolerance, love, grace, and a healthy dose of dark humor to soften the edges. If Spoiler Alert follows the same time pattern, it could be available to purchase on digital by late December or early January.
