• 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

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 😮‍💨😜)

i'm sick of seeing those ugly ass covers everywhere

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.

Idc about the book but I'm rooting for her.

I like how it's in the style of those adult novels with names like "The Last Thing He Left Me in the Microwave" that takes place at a lake house.

The Wife on the Leaning Tower

Can't you sell like a couple hundred copies and wind up on that list lol

I could be wrong!

[progression]

I think it has to be 5k at least. I always thought it has to be like 50k, lol.

[squirrels_oh_no]

Someone once bought all of her own books to game the system and ended up on the list. I don't think the threshold is THAT high.

I think they count presales, or used to. There was a scandal a few years ago about an author & his/her friends calling bookstores, ordering like 20 copies of his/her book (I think they canceled later) to drive up numbers.

It was the kind of heat that made you wish it weren't hot anymore. It was the kind of book that made you wish you couldn't read.
