• Brown's editor boasted about the book becoming an instant New York Times best seller
• The book is a historical romance about the The Bethnal Green tube disaster
• In a deleted blog post Brown's ghostwriter, admitted she wrote the whole thing

I feel like NYT Bestseller status isn’t really that much of a flex these days. I mean, Colleen Hoover has been there with multiple books and her stuff is 🗑️. (Don’t @ me if you love Colleen 😮‍💨😜)

It makes me sad. Half of the reason for me to actually purchase a hard copy vs just download is that there’s a pretty cover to look at.

There has been a display of just her books in this shop in my city's train station for at least a full year.

Lmaoooo my mom loves that shit but she admits it's just beach read material.

Especially with society these days becoming more illiterate ( case in point: ONTD doesn’t read lol)

i think that speaks more to our laziness, not our illiteracy though but drag us!

[nigelwitthebrie]

True lol..laziness plus our smart phones just makes everything more accessible yet we are too lazy to look anything up for ourselves

[nigelwitthebrie]

BookTok has brought nothing but terrors upon this world.

Most of us who started reading CoHo early on knew she was trash before Tiktok found her. I could go on a rant about Ugly Love, but that's a whole dissertation.

Yeah. Same. I read two of her books in 2015 and knew her material had really sexist and misogynist undertones that it warded me away from reading anything else of hers.
