this has nothing to do w the cait corrain situation, that was fucked up and being mad about that is completely valid. what is not okay is stalking your Goodreads reviews and calling the negative reviews “review bombing” when it’s NOT

all the reviews i’ve seen that dislike the book have been from people of color, and the friend i’m talking about is from a place that’s STILL under colonial rule. i need people to shut the fuck up because these reviews aren’t coming from a place of ignorance

i just want to add that while only a few reviewers made a statement, the author and their friends have done this to many other reviewers. they have proof it was the author and the author is aware of that. this is not "drama", this is doxxing and harassment.

also, the book IS a colonizer romance, full stop. you can totally explore dark themes in your book and that's all fine. the reviewers were blindsided by the colonizer romance being romanticized by the author and general book marketing. they also didn't like the book for other-
