A new book called Manhunt by transgender author Gretchen Felker-Martin features J.K. Rowling, author of the popular Harry Potter series in its pages, and it is stirring up controversy. While Rowling is not a character in the book, there are several references to her.

The novel is generating controversy for a scene in which Rowling is killed off during a fire at a Scottish castle in a story a character is telling around a campfire.

It was a flash in the pan hot read for a second and I think a good deal of that probably came from the cover being two fruit in net produce bag shaped like balls.

lol, that is literally the only thing I know about that book. Like, I saw this post, wasn't sure if I had heard of it or not, and then it dawned on me "Oh, right the fruit balls book"

I know it's really common for book hype to die down after a release, but I really do feel like this one had more cover hype than anything else.

No, but you should know that it's essentially a book about demonizing people AFAB from a author who thinks, and I quote, "art should have more rape in it".
