It appears that this article for this book was solely created because a movie based on it was recently released. All the information (two sentences) present in this article can be found on the author's page. Babar Suhail (talk) 22:48, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep per above. On a related note, I placed a Sources exist tag on the article. Steel1943  (talk) 01:51, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per the refs provided. There are six reviews which are WP:RS, The Desert Sun, Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Entertainment Weekly, The Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide, and Boston Herald are credible newspapers or magazines, with Kirkus and Entertainment Weekly being listed RS on WP:RSP, Publishers Weekly is also a reliable magazine IMO with about us and submission policies; Gay and Lesbian Review Worldwide per 1, 2, is likely WP:RS (some of the content on its website are marked as blogs, but this seems to be a full reliable review from the magazine). These appear to be WP:SIGCOV, though the Kirkus and Publishers Weekly reviews at one quite long paragraph lean on the shorter side and are borderline SIGCOV. Therefore, these refs count towards WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK criteria 1. WP:NBOOK criteria 3, The book has been considered by reliable sources to have made a significant contribution to a notable or significant motion picture, or other art form, or event or political or religious movement, might be met as Spoiler Alert (film), an easily notable film, is based on this book.
